A company holds its annual general meeting within six months of the year end (by 30 September; the first AGM within nine months), files its financial statements in Form AOC-4 within 30 days of the AGM, and files its annual return in Form MGT-7 or MGT-7A within 60 days of the AGM. Event-based forms are filed as things happen, for example auditor appointment (ADT-1) and changes in directors (DIR-12). An LLP files its Statement of Account and Solvency (Form 8) by 30 October and its annual return (Form 11) by 30 May. We prepare a compliance calendar for your entity, collect the signed financial statements and minutes, file the forms and send you the filed copies. Your board remains responsible for approving the accounts and holding the meetings.
Company Secretary Services in Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu — Beyond Form Filing
DNH-DD combines tax-incentive-driven manufacturing (chemicals, plastics, engineering) and tourism, with established corporate compliance infrastructure. For Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu-based companies, the CS function spans: secretarial standards compliance (SS-1 for board meetings, SS-2 for general meetings), drafting of board resolutions and minutes, maintenance of statutory registers under Section 88, related-party transactions approval workflow under Section 188, and the increasingly important Significant Beneficial Ownership (SBO) compliance under Section 90 with BEN-1, BEN-2 filings.
Board Meeting and General Meeting Compliance
For Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu businesses, particularly those operating across multiple states, video-conferencing meetings are valid under Rule 3 of Companies (Meetings of Board and its Powers) Rules, 2014, but the prescribed restricted matters (financial statement approval, board's report, prospectus, M&A approval) require physical presence or specific recorded consent.
Secretarial Audit (Form MR-3) — Section 204
Mandatory for listed companies, public companies with paid-up capital ≥ ₹50 crore, public companies with turnover ≥ ₹250 crore, and companies with outstanding loans ≥ ₹100 crore. The MR-3 report is signed by a practising Company Secretary and lists all material non-compliances with corporate, securities, FEMA, and labour laws.
Significant Beneficial Ownership (SBO) Compliance
Section 90 read with the SBO Rules requires identification and reporting of every individual who holds (directly or indirectly) at least 10% of shares, voting rights, or distribution rights, or who exercises significant influence/control. Penalties for non-compliance are severe — up to ₹50 lakh on the company plus daily continuing penalties, and BEN-3 freezing on shares of unidentified SBOs.
Related Party Transactions — Section 188
Section 188 requires board approval (and shareholder special resolution above prescribed thresholds) for related-party transactions including sale/purchase of goods, services, leasing, appointment to office of profit, and underwriting. The approval must be in advance, not ratificatory. Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu family-managed businesses are particularly vulnerable to RPT non-compliance because intra-family supply arrangements and asset transfers are often documented after the fact. We design RPT compliance calendars and quarterly review processes for such businesses.
Director Compliance — DIN, DIR-3 KYC, Disqualifications
DIR-3 KYC is annual (due 30 September); failure attracts ₹5,000 penalty and DIN deactivation.
