What our retainer clients never have to worry about

The principal recurring statutory dates above are part of a broader compliance calendar that we run for each client — customised to the financial year end, entity type, sector and any change events during the year.

Indicative dates for a Private Limited Company with a 31 March financial year-end. Actual dates vary by entity type, financial year and statutory notifications. Not legal advice.
 

The compliance lifecycle

Every entity goes through the same four phases.

The work we do depends on where your business is in the cycle. The grouping below mirrors the structure of the rest of the page.

Phase 01

First compliances

The 30-day window after incorporation — when getting things right prevents a long tail of correction work.

Phase 02

Annual compliance

The recurring filings and statutory records that need to be filed every year, on time, without fail.

Phase 03

Change events

The eventful work — share transfers, partner changes, FDI reporting, conversions between entity types.

Phase 04

End of life

Strike-off, dormant status, conversion to a different structure — winding the entity down properly.

Questions foreign clients ask first

The early questions, answered straight.

No. Incorporation is done remotely. Directors and shareholders sign documents in their own jurisdiction, witnessed and apostilled (or notarised, depending on country). We coordinate everything else from Mumbai.

A specific, finite list — defence beyond a threshold, certain media, multi-brand retail, lottery, atomic energy and a few others — needs government approval, sectoral caps, or is prohibited. We check this before we discuss structure.

Fixed-fee for defined setup work; retainer or matter-by-matter thereafter. The engagement letter sets out every item before work begins, in your preferred currency where possible.

For most sectors under the automatic FDI route: 6–8 weeks from engagement letter to a working entity with a bank account and registrations. Approval-route sectors take longer; we will tell you the realistic timeline before you sign anything.

Yes — most international clients retain us on an annual basis for MCA filings, FEMA / FDI reporting, income tax, GST and the ongoing regulatory work. Your named partner stays the same.

Routinely. We work alongside the client's home-jurisdiction legal and tax advisors and provide the India-side input they need — in their format, on their timeline.
