            Company Secretary Services in Andaman and Nicobar Islands — ROC & Compliance Anchor

            For Andaman and Nicobar Islands-incorporated entities, ROC filings route through ROC Andaman & Nicobar (Port Blair sub-office under ROC Kolkata) and the secretarial-compliance calendar interlocks with Section 173 (board-meeting minimum 4 with 120-day cap), Section 96 (AGM within 6 months of FY-end), Section 137 (AOC-4 within 30 days of AGM) and Section 92 (MGT-7 within 60 days of AGM).

            The economic mix of Andaman and Nicobar Islands runs across tourism, small-scale agro-processing, fisheries — sectors that consistently dominate the regulatory case-load and the profile of the engagements we field from this jurisdiction. There is no notified SEZ in the state. On the AD-Bank side, SBI Port Blair is the principal AD-I; complex FEMA filings funnel via Kolkata or Chennai.

            A&N enjoys 100% income-tax exemption for indigenous-tribal members under Section 10(26AAA) and is the only Indian UT astride the strategic Malacca Strait shipping route — a niche advantage for marine-services ventures.

            SS-1 / SS-2 Compliance — Board & General Meeting Minutes

            Secretarial Standards SS-1 (board meetings) and SS-2 (general meetings) issued by ICSI carry statutory force under Section 118. Andaman and Nicobar Islands-based companies frequently encounter inspection observations on quorum recording, video-conferencing protocol compliance under Section 173(2), and circulation-resolution frequency limits.

            DIR-3 KYC, DPT-3, INC-22A & Form-Calendar Discipline

            Annual DIR-3 KYC by 30 September, DPT-3 deposit return by 30 June, BEN-2 SBO compliance, MSME-1 half-yearly returns, and INC-22A active company filing — these recurring filings have been the most common source of director-disqualification proceedings under Section 164. We anchor a 30/15/7-day reminder calendar against ROC Andaman & Nicobar (Port Blair sub-office under ROC Kolkata).

            Charge Registration, Annual Return & Statutory Registers

            CHG-1 / CHG-4 charge filings within prescribed limits, MGT-7 annual return preparation, and the Section 88 statutory registers (Members, Directors, KMP, SBO, Charges, Debenture Holders) — all maintained for Andaman and Nicobar Islands clients on a secure document room with full audit trail.
