MCA-ROC Filings & Compliances in India

A business registered & running in India has to comply & adhere to various central & state-regulated compliance, irrespective of their constitution. Coping up with all this regulation can be difficult for an average business person to take care of the same and focus on expansion or strategizing the business growth. Hence we at TAXAJ share that responsibility & help you to focus on your core business areas and leave us with all the taxation & related worries because we are The Financial Doctors!
Every company registered under the Companies Act 2013 or under the earlier Companies Act, 1956, must file annual returns to the Registrar of Companies. These ROC returns are returns of the company’s account that consist of the company’s balance sheet, profit and loss statement, annual return and compliance certificate.
