Compliance
Keep the company alive without remembering a single date.
Every company and LLP in India has a fixed set of dates: board meetings, ROC filings, income tax, GST, TDS. Miss one and the fee runs by the day. Here the machine keeps the dates and chases the documents. A Chartered Accountant files and signs.
Professional fee before GST at 18 percent. Government fees, where any apply, are named on the page.

What does annual compliance include?
The filings the Companies Act asks of every company each year: the board meetings and their minutes, the annual general meeting, the financial statements in AOC-4, the annual return in MGT-7 and the KYC of every director. The audit and the income tax return are separate lines, priced on the same table.
My company has no revenue yet. Do I still have to file?
Yes. A company with nil turnover files the same forms as one with crores. The late fee runs at Rs. 100 a day per form whether or not there was any business. Filing nil returns on time is cheap. Filing them late is not.
How do I know a date is coming?
The compliance calendar on this site generates every date for your company from the incorporation date and exports it to your own calendar. For clients, the machine sends a reminder before each date and chases the documents it needs. I file and sign.
Can you take over from my current accountant?
Yes. Send the last filed returns and the login details for the MCA and GST portals. We check what has been filed, what is pending and what the late fees are, and tell you before any filing goes in.
Send us the last filed return.
We will tell you what is pending, what the late fees are today and what the year ahead costs. Then you decide.
