If you are the director or owner of any of the business entities in India, there is some compliance that you would have to adhere to. Adhering to these compliances is not something that can be construed as optional. These compliances have always been there. However, as per the Companies Act of 2013, there have been some major changes to the annual compliances. Furthermore, with the introduction of eForm KYC in 2018, some more changes are on the way.

Some of the compliances that are common to all types of business entities are as follows:

  1. Annual return: The new annual return forms are available with the MGT-7. This new format is a much more focused and an enlarged one. You will need to enquire a lot more details here.
  2. Director’s report: The new compliances make it necessary that the reports o the general meetings are also added to the report.
  3. The eKYC form: While people need to only opt for filing for DIN once, they will need to confirm their existence by filing an eKYC form annually. This is an annual procedure in which failing to comply will lead to DIN closure.

Mandatory Compliance for Companies
