Mandatory Compliances for a Private Limited Company

A look at the Ministry of Corporate Affairs records show that every month more than 10,000 companies
get registered. Add another 4,000 + LLPs registered every month. Entrepreneurship is certainly booming in
India.

On the other side, regulatory compliances are becoming more and more stringent. Almost all compliances
under the Companies Act, 2013 provide for onerous penalties for delay/non-compliances. Penalties range
from per day pecuniary penalties to prosecution as well.
