Overview of Public Limited Company Annual Filing

A public limited company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 with a minimum of 3 directors & minimum of 7 members. A public limited company is entitled to offer shares to the general public. Since public money is involved, annual compliances become the major answerability to the public regarding the affairs of the company. It is mandatory for all Public Limited companies to file annual compliances on time as per dates defined by ROC. Failure to file compliance on time leads to heavy penalties on business. Public Company Filing is like a safety net that keeps a company honest and open. It’s all about making sure the company follows the rules and tells the public what’s going on.

In government tenders, loans, etc., the authority or banks, etc. consider the regular compliance as criteria for ensuring the credibility & transparency of an organization.

I have recently registered a Private Limited firm and was looking for a CA to take care of the filings, Startup India Certificate, and other formalities. I have received emails from legal Suvidha and a few others. I tried talking to them all. But, Mr. Mayank from Legal Suvidha was very impressive and was patient enough, prompt to answer all the queries. He has a very professional team and after the initial formalities, I started interacting with the team. It's not even 2 weeks but I really feel overwhelmed by their service and professionalism. I received my startup India certificate yesterday and my filings have been done promptly. The team at legal suvidha Ms. Nidhi, Ms. Priyanka, Ms. Koshika, and Ms. Saloni all show the same professionalism and are readily available to take care of the official filings and stuff. Overall a great experience till now and looking forward to a great journey!
