What the retainer actually covers
Most companies think annual compliance is two forms once a year. Under the Companies Act, 2013 it is closer to thirty separate obligations, and the first one falls due thirty days after incorporation. This is the list we hold for you.
The first 30 days
→First board meeting within 30 days of incorporation, under Section 173.
→First auditor appointed by the Board within 30 days, or by the members within 90.
→MBP-1 and DIR-8 from every director — interest disclosed, non-disqualification declared.
→Registered office confirmed, and INC-22 filed where it was not declared at incorporation.
→Name board, CIN and address on the premises and on every letter and invoice — ₹1,000 a day if not.
→Books of account opened at the registered office from the date of incorporation.
The first six months
→Share certificates within two months to the subscribers, under Section 56(4). Default is ₹50,000 on the company and ₹50,000 on every officer in default.
→Stamp duty on those certificates, generally within 30 days of issue. Late, and the authority can levy up to ten times the duty. A certificate is not complete until it is signed and stamped.
→Subscription money actually received from every subscriber.
→INC-20A within 180 days, or the company cannot lawfully trade or borrow — and can be struck off.
→Statutory registers opened — members, directors and KMP, charges, loans and investments, related party contracts — and minutes entered within 30 days of each meeting.
Every year
→DPT-3 by 30 June — it applies even where the company has taken no deposits.
→AGM within six months of the year end, or nine for the first one, with audited accounts and a board report ready.
→AOC-4 in 30 days, MGT-7 or MGT-7A in 60, ADT-1 in 15 — all counted from the AGM, at ₹100 a day each if late, with no cap.
→DIR-3 KYC for every director, now once every three financial years.
→MSME-1 twice a year where anything owed to a micro or small supplier runs past 45 days.
→Four board meetings a year, no more than 120 days apart. Two for a small company or an OPC.
Whenever it happens
→DIR-12, PAS-3, SH-7, CHG-1 — a director joins or resigns, shares are allotted, capital changes, a charge is created. Usually 30 days each.
→Fresh share certificates within two months of every allotment, with stamp duty paid on those as well.
→BEN-1 and BEN-2 where there is a significant beneficial owner, and MGT-14 for the resolutions that require it.
That is the Companies Act alone. Income tax and TDS, advance tax, the annual return, GST once you cross the threshold, and the labour registrations all run alongside it on their own dates. See the whole list against your own dates →
