Is GST registration mandatory immediately after company registration?

Not always. GST is required if your turnover exceeds ₹40 Lakh (goods) / ₹20 Lakh (services) or if you engage in inter-state supply. Voluntary registration is also beneficial for input tax credit.

What is the penalty for late ROC annual filing?

Late filing fees are ₹100 per day per form (AOC-4 & MGT-7). For a year's delay, it may exceed ₹1 Lakh. Liquetax helps you avoid these with timely reminders.

Do I need to appoint a company secretary after registration?

Only if your paid-up capital exceeds ₹5 Crore. For most private companies, it's not mandatory, but you must maintain statutory registers and minutes. We can assist in virtual company secretary services.

How soon should I open a bank account after incorporation?

Ideally within 1 week. You need a current account for GST registration, payments, and to receive client funds. Keep your COI, PAN, and board resolution ready.
