Corporate Compliance & Restructuring
Incorporation, company law compliance, restructuring and reorganisation, and advisory to businesses and trusts.
Corporate compliance is the ongoing set of filings, approvals, registers and disclosures that a company must maintain under the Companies Act, 2013 and related laws. Restructuring covers mergers, demergers, capital reduction and other schemes under Sections 230 to 232, as well as contractual reorganisation of a group.
The firm advises companies from incorporation through growth and reorganisation. We have handled incorporations and ongoing advisory for businesses across export, manufacturing, logistics, infrastructure, design and electric mobility, and a company restructuring and reorganisation mandate valued at several hundred crores.

Frequently asked questions
What are the mandatory annual filings for a private limited company in India?
Financial statements in AOC-4, annual return in MGT-7 or MGT-7A, the auditor's appointment in ADT-1 where applicable, directors' KYC in DIR-3 KYC, and DPT-3 for deposits and loans. Late filing attracts daily additional fees and can lead to disqualification of directors.
How is a merger approved in India?
Through a scheme of arrangement under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013, approved by shareholders and creditors in NCLT-convened meetings and then sanctioned by the NCLT. Small companies and holding-subsidiary mergers can use the fast-track route under Section 233.
