ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your questions,
answered.

Need help with your specific situation?

Talk to our team
Is annual filing the same as every company obligation?

No. Keep company-registry filings, income tax, GST, employment and sector-specific work separate. The engagement must specify what is included.

How do the usual company annual-filing deadlines differ?

For the ordinary AGM case, section 137 requires financial statements within 30 days of the AGM, while section 92 gives 60 days for the annual return. No-AGM, adjourned-meeting, OPC and extension situations need separate treatment. Record the applicable trigger and checked date for each submission.

References: India Code: Companies Act, sections 92 and 137

What if the records are incomplete?

Create a missing-record list with an owner and next action. Confirm how the gaps affect preparation, cost and timing before submission.

What should I receive at handover?

Retain the agreed filing pack, relevant acknowledgement, payment evidence where applicable, and any open clarification or next-action list.

Does a ROC filing complete the company’s income-tax return?

No. Income-tax work has a separate authority, purpose and acknowledgement. Assign and track it separately.

References: Ministry of Corporate Affairs: company filing services · Income Tax Department: e-filing portal

How is the fee decided?

Agree the period, records, forms, professional review and follow-up scope first. Itemise taxes, authority charges and work outside the engagement.

Why should the annual checklist include events during the year?

An annual return records company information, but it does not replace a separate filing triggered by an actual director, office, capital or auditor event. Compare the year-end records with the event acknowledgements and allocate unresolved items before signing the annual pack.

BEFORE YOU AUTHORISE THE WORK

Start with the year and the company’s actual events.

Provide the financial-year details, company classification, meeting records and previous filing evidence. Request a list of included forms and a separate list of tax, accounting, audit or historical-correction work. Each deadline should have a recorded basis; do not assume a package title covers every obligation or that one filing completes the year.

These questions help you agree the scope. They do not change the displayed price, promise an authority decision or establish that your case has been professionally reviewed.
