    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. How often should a company update its statutory records?

    Companies must update their statutory records whenever there are changes in the board of directors, shareholding structure, registered address, or any other key business details. These updates should be reported to the Office of the Company Registrar (OCR) within the legally required timeframe.

    2. What are the penalties for late filing of annual returns?

    Failure to file annual returns on time can result in monetary fines imposed by the OCR. If non-compliance continues, the company may face suspension or deregistration, preventing it from legally operating.

    3. Is it mandatory for all companies to have a company secretary?

    While not all businesses require a company secretary, public companies and certain private companies must appoint one to manage compliance, governance, and regulatory filings. Even if not mandatory, hiring a company secretary is beneficial for smooth compliance management.

    4. Can a company change its business structure after registration?

    Yes, a company can change its structure (e.g., from a private limited company to a public company) by following the conversion process set by the OCR. This requires shareholder approval, updated legal documentation, and approval from regulatory bodies.

    5. What compliance requirements apply to dormant or inactive companies?

    Even if a company is not actively operating, it must still file annual returns, maintain financial records, and comply with tax regulations to avoid penalties or deregistration. If a business intends to shut down, it should officially dissolve the company through legal procedures.
