DECISION SUPPORT
Check fit before choosing a service.
You may not need this route when: Proprietorships and unincorporated applicants may have tax or licence obligations, but do not follow the same ROC filing framework.
Prepare first
- Entity master data and prior filings
- Board, partner or member approvals where relevant
- Financial statements and event evidence
COMPARE YOUR STARTING POINT
Different situations need different work.
Use these questions to frame an enquiry, not to decide statutory eligibility. Follow the service guide that matches the work you need.
| Your situation | Facts to compare | Next guide |
|---|---|---|
| Organising the annual company cycle | Entity type, financial year, prior filing status, financial statements and the approvals that support each filing. | Annual company filing preparation → |
| Maintaining a director's records | DIN status, current contact details, prior KYC and the applicable current filing or update route. | Director KYC and update checks → |
| Considering company closure | Activity, assets, liabilities, disputes, pending filings and the records needed to assess a closure route. | Assess closure readiness → |
Common pitfalls to avoid
- No trading activity does not by itself establish that there is nothing to file or that a company can be closed immediately.
- An annual filing checklist does not cover every event such as a director, office or capital change.

EDUCATIONAL READING
Read the supporting articles
These explain a related question; they are separate from a service engagement. Check each guide's scope, source information and dates before relying on it.
HOW TO AGREE THE WORK
Clarify the requirement → agree the scope → prepare records → authorise the next step.
Confirm who prepares, checks and authorises the work, whether a qualified professional's review is needed, what fees and follow-up are included, and which authority decisions remain outside the engagement. No approval or ranking outcome is guaranteed.COMMON QUESTIONS
A clearer starting point.
Are annual and event-based filings interchangeable?
No. Annual filings recur, while changes such as directors, office or capital can create separate event-based work.
Can an inactive company be closed immediately?
Not necessarily. Its records, liabilities, pending filings and eligibility for the available closure route must be reviewed first.
Can one checklist cover companies and LLPs?
Use a shared records checklist only as a starting point. Identify the legal entity, year and events, then confirm the applicable company or LLP forms, approvals and responsible professionals separately.
