Corporate Secretarial Services

Proactive Compliance for Your Indian Subsidiary In the Indian regulatory environment, corporate secretarial compliance is not a periodic task—it is a continuous obligation. For foreign parent companies, maintaining a "clean" legal standing in India is essential for repatriating profits, securing funding, and protecting the board of directors from local liabilities.

At Consulting Finance we act as your local governance partner. We manage the entire lifecycle of corporate secretarial duties, from name approvals and FDI reporting to annual filings with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). Our team ensures that your corporate records are always audit-ready and aligned with both Indian Law and your parent company's internal protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is secretarial compliance critical for a Japanese subsidiary in India?

Indian law imposes strict penalties for late filings, including the potential disqualification of directors. For Japanese firms, maintaining 100% compliance ensures that the brand’s reputation remains untarnished and that all local operations are fully authorized by the parent company.

2. How do you handle the reporting of money sent from our headquarters?

We manage the “Capitalization Support” process, ensuring that any equity or debt infusion from your headquarters is reported to the RBI within the mandatory 30-day window via the FIRMS portal.

3. Can you manage our Board Meeting documentation remotely?

Yes. We coordinate with your global leadership to draft notices and minutes that satisfy both Indian statutory requirements and your internal corporate governance standards.

4. What happens if our company's status becomes "Inactive"?

A company becomes inactive primarily due to missed annual filings. We provide “Revival Services” to help companies clear backlogs, pay necessary penalties, and restore their “Active” status with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
