Company Incorporation & ROC Compliance in Mohali
From company registration and LLP incorporation to annual ROC filings, share transfers, and director changes — CA Ankush Garg handles your complete MCA/ROC compliance.
Starting a company in India is just the beginning. Every company and LLP registered under Indian law must maintain an ongoing compliance calendar — annual ROC filings, board meetings, director KYC, shareholder resolutions, and statutory registers. Failure to comply attracts heavy automatic penalties and can lead to director disqualification or company strike-off.
CA Ankush Garg provides comprehensive company incorporation and ROC compliance services in Mohali — from first-time incorporations for Indian and foreign promoters to ongoing annual compliance for established companies. With hands-on experience in MCA V3 and successful incorporations for British, Australian, and Canadian promoters, we handle even complex multi-jurisdictional structures.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to incorporate a private limited company in Mohali?
Typically 7–10 working days from submission of complete documents. Name approval (RUN) takes 1–2 days, SPICe+ processing takes 5–7 days. Timeline can vary with ROC workload.
What is the minimum number of directors for a Pvt Ltd company?
A minimum of 2 directors are required. At least 1 director must be an Indian resident (a person who has stayed in India for at least 182 days in the previous calendar year).
What is Form DIR-3 KYC and what happens if I don't file it?
DIR-3 KYC must be filed by every DIN holder by September 30 each year. Non-filing results in the DIN being deactivated — making it impossible to sign any MCA documents until KYC is completed. Late KYC attracts a Rs. 5,000 penalty.
Can a foreign national be a director of an Indian company?
Yes — there is no restriction on foreign nationals being directors. They need a valid passport, a DIN, and foreign documents must be apostille-authenticated from their country of residence before the Indian consulate/notary.
What is the penalty for late ROC filing?
The MCA charges additional fees for delayed filings — Rs. 100 per day per form with no upper cap for many forms. For very late filings, this can run into lakhs. Directors can also face disqualification under Section 164(2) for consecutive defaults.
Can I convert my proprietorship or LLP into a private limited company?
Yes — both conversions are possible. Proprietorship to Pvt Ltd involves fresh incorporation (there is no direct conversion route). LLP to Pvt Ltd is possible under Section 366 of the Companies Act via NCLT approval. We advise the most suitable conversion route for your specific situation.
