It's your company's credit score.

Fully online. Pan-India. Built for the new Companies Act rules of 2026.
CS VERIFIED
2026
What Changed for Indian Companies in 2026
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has rewritten a big part of the compliance rulebook this year. Here's what actually affects your Private Limited Company, LLP or OPC right now decoded by our Company Secretaries.
CCFS-2026: Companies Compliance Fresh Start Scheme
A one-time window (15 April – 15 July 2026) letting companies regularise pending AOC-4, MGT-7 and MGT-7A filings by paying only 10% of late fees, with immunity from certain penalties. Miss the window and standard penalties resume.
Incorporation Amendment Rules, 2026
9 separate MCA forms (INC-22, INC-23, INC-24, INC-27, INC-6, INC-12, INC-18, INC-20, RD-1) are being consolidated into two multi-part forms E-CHNG and E-CON simplifying company changes and conversions on MCA V3.
DIR-3 KYC Deactivation Risk
Every director with an active DIN must complete KYC by 30 September. Miss it, and your DIN is deactivated from 1 October you can't sign resolutions or file with MCA until you pay a ₹5,000 reactivation penalty.
Mandatory Audit Trail in Accounting Software
Tally, Zoho Books, QuickBooks or custom ERPs must now log every edit to every financial entry with a timestamp and user ID non-negotiable, and can't be switched off mid-year. Non-compliance forces a qualified audit report.
MSME Payment & Tightened BEN-2 Reporting
Financial statements must now disclose outstanding dues to MSME vendors, and beneficial-ownership reporting under BEN-2 has been tightened both are active areas of MCA scrutiny for FY 2026-27.
AOC-4 & MGT-7 Filing Calendar FY 2025-26
AOC-4 is due 27 September 2026 (29 October for OPCs); MGT-7/MGT-7A is due within 60 days of your AGM. DPT-3 (return of deposits) closes 30 June 2026 and applies more widely than most founders assume.

CS Compliance vs Other Business Registrations in India
"Company Secretary" services apply differently depending on which legal form your business takes. Here's how the major Indian business structures compare and where mandatory CS/ROC compliance actually kicks in.
| Structure | Governing Law | Min. Members | Annual ROC/MCA Filing | CS Requirement | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private Limited Co. | Companies Act, 2013 | 2 directors, 2 shareholders | AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-3 KYC, DPT-3 | Mandatory secretarial compliance; whole-time CS if paid-up capital ≥ ₹10 Cr | Startups, funded businesses, scaling ventures |
| LLP | LLP Act, 2008 | 2 designated partners | Form 11 (Annual Return), Form 8 (Accounts) | Lighter compliance; CS advisory recommended, not mandatory | Professional firms, service businesses |
| One Person Company (OPC) | Companies Act, 2013 | 1 director | AOC-4, MGT-7A, DIR-3 KYC | Simplified filings; CS support for annual returns | Solo founders wanting limited liability |
| Section 8 Company | Companies Act, 2013 | 2 directors (non-profit objective) | AOC-4, MGT-7, plus 12A & 80G compliance | Mandatory governance & donor-reporting scrutiny is higher | NGOs, foundations, non-profits |
| Partnership Firm | Indian Partnership Act, 1932 | 2 partners | No ROC filing (income-tax filing only) | Not applicable | Small local businesses, low compliance appetite |
| Public Limited Company | Companies Act, 2013 | 3 directors, 7 shareholders | Full ROC suite + PAS-6, quarterly disclosures | Mandatory whole-time Company Secretary | Large enterprises, IPO-track companies |
