Compliance domain

The obligations that attach to the entity, whatever it makes

Every incorporated entity in India carries the same corporate spine — board process, statutory registers, ROC filings, related party approvals, CSR and, if listed, continuous disclosure. It does not matter whether you run a steel plant or a software company. What differs is only how much of it applies.

What the domain contains

The obligation groups we maintain

Each of these decomposes into individual obligations with an actor, an action, a trigger and a deadline, cited to the section or rule it comes from.

Board and general meeting process

Notice periods, quorum, minutes, resolutions, and the Secretarial Standards issued by ICSI which are mandatory and routinely treated as guidance.

ROC and MCA21 filings

AOC-4, MGT-7, DPT-3, MSME-1, BEN-2, DIR-3 KYC and event-based forms — each with its own trigger, deadline and additional-fee clock.

Related party transactions

Audit committee approval, board approval, member approval thresholds and arm’s length determination, with omnibus approval limits.

CSR under Section 135

Committee constitution, policy, two-percent spend, unspent account transfer within thirty days, and impact assessment above the threshold.

Listed entity disclosure

Regulation 30 materiality determination and 24-hour disclosure, quarterly results, corporate governance report and BRSR.

Directors’ responsibility statement

The Section 134(5) assertion that adequate systems exist to ensure compliance with all applicable laws — which is what makes everything else on this site a board-level question.

Why it goes wrong

The failure modes we see most often

01

Section 134(5) is an assertion about all laws, not corporate law

Directors state that systems exist to ensure compliance with the provisions of all applicable laws. Most boards sign this on the strength of a compliance certificate whose underlying register nobody has reconciled to source in years.

02

Officer-in-default liability is personal

A large share of Companies Act contraventions attach to the company secretary, the CFO and the directors individually. That changes the calculus on evidence quality.

03

Event-based filings arrive without a calendar

A charge creation, a director resignation or a share allotment starts a clock. Periodic calendars do not catch these; only a trigger-linked register does.

Across industries

This domain does not care what you manufacture

Domain obligations apply by activity, headcount, turnover and location — not by sector code. What changes between industries is how much of the domain lands on you, and which sectoral rules stack on top.
