When You Need to Talk to a Company Secretary
Many founders, directors and finance heads contact a Company Secretary only after a problem arises like receiving an ROC notice, missing an MGT-7A filing deadline, conducting a board meeting incorrectly, or facing a SEBI compliance issue. By that time, fixing the problem can become expensive due to heavy late fees, penalties, and legal responsibility for directors.
- 1A ROC notice has arrived under Section 248 (strike-off) or for non-compliance, and the response window is short.
- 2Annual ROC filings (AOC-4, MGT-7, MGT-7A, DIR-3 KYC) are overdue and late fees are accumulating.
- 3A new company is being incorporated, and the MoA, AoA, and shareholding structure need to be drafted properly.
- 4Board resolutions, special resolutions, or shareholder agreements need to be drafted for a specific transaction.
- 5A private placement, rights issue, bonus issue, or share buyback needs to be structured and filed.
- 6A change in directors, registered office, name, or capital structure needs to be processed.
- 7A secretarial audit under Section 204 is due, and you’re unsure whether your company is in scope.
- 8An LLP, OPC, or Section 8 company conversion is being planned, and the procedural roadmap is unclear.
- 9Listed company compliance under SEBI LODR (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations needs review (insider trading code, related-party transactions, quarterly disclosures)
- 10A foreign subsidiary, FDI inflow, FEMA reporting, or RBI compliance matter needs structuring.
- 11A director, KMP, or auditor appointment or resignation needs to be filed correctly.

Book Your CS Consultation with Professional Utilities
If you’ve been putting off a ROC question, a board resolution, a compliance decision, or a corporate-restructuring matter, the cost of waiting is usually higher than the cost of asking. A 30-minute conversation with the right Company Secretary can resolve months of uncertainty and prevent significant penalties. Book a CS Consultation for specific compliance services beyond the consultation, annual ROC filings, secretarial audit, share allotment, capital restructuring, LODR compliance, and FEMA filings.

FAQ’s On CA Consultation
Is the CS on the call actually a qualified Company Secretary?
Yes, every CS on our panel is an ICSI member with an active Certificate. Membership numbers can be verified on the ICSI member portal.
What is the difference between a CA and a CS?
A Chartered Accountant (CA) handles taxation and auditing, whereas a Company Secretary (CS) handles corporate compliance, Companies Act filings, ROC matters, secretarial audit, board governance, SEBI, and FEMA. For matters involving both, we offer a joint CA-CS consultation.
Is my private company subject to mandatory secretarial audit?
Mandatory secretarial audit under Section 204 applies to listed companies and unlisted public companies crossing any of: ₹50 crore paid-up capital, ₹250 crore turnover, or ₹100 crore outstanding loans. Private companies are not within the mandatory scope but may opt in for governance assurance.
What documents should I keep ready to talk to CS?
For ROC matters, the last filed AOC-4 and MGT-7A, plus any pending notices. For incorporation, the proposed MoA, AoA, and shareholding structure. For SEBI LODR, recent quarterly compliance reports. We will confirm the exact requirements when you book.
Will the CS represent me before ROC, RD, or NCLT?
The consultation is advisory. Representation is a separate engagement quoted on the case complexity. PCS members are authorised to appear before NCLT in specified matters under the Companies Act, 2013.
Can a Company Secretary handle trademark or IP work?
Yes. ICSI members are authorised to file trademark applications, oppositions, renewals, and assignments.
What if my matter requires both a CA and a CS?
For matters like share allotment, business valuation, or due diligence, we offer a joint CA-CS consultation with an integrated written summary. Quoted separately based on scope.
Is the consultation confidential?
Yes, every CS is bound by professional secrecy under the Company Secretaries Act, 1980, and documents are stored on encrypted servers accessed only by the assigned CS.
