The term compliance describes the ability to comply with orders, a set of rules, or requests.
A private limited company that has been incorporated in India must ensure the compliances concerning the Companies Act, 2013 are adequately met.
The Companies Act, 2013 regulates the appointment, qualification, remuneration, and retirement of the Company's Directors and other aspects such as conducting board meetings and shareholder meetings.
The RoC compliance for registered Private Limited Companies is necessary. The company must comply with the annual compliance requirement regardless of the total turnover or the capital amount.
All companies registered in India like a private limited company, one person company, limited company, and section 8 company need to maintain the annual compliances like annual returns and income tax return each year. Though company registration is the most popular form of starting a business, various compliances need to be followed once the business is Incorporated.
Managing the business's everyday operations while complying with the problematic corporate laws can be a task for the entrepreneur. So, it is always better to take the professionals' help and understand the legal requirement to ensure timely fulfilment of these compliances to waive off the penalties or fines.
Here, we will look at some of the Common compliances that a private limited company has to ensure mandatorily.
