The calendar runs.
So you don't have to.
A named partner who knows your filing calendar — not a platform that sends you reminders to do it yourself.
One person responsible for your end-to-end compliance — ROC, GST, tax, regulatory. Not eight separate vendors.
Compliance issues caught before they become penalties. Not after, when the demand notice arrives.
A year
at a glance.
Below is a non-exhaustive view of the major statutory deadlines a typical Indian private limited company faces in a financial year. Most companies miss two or three of these every year. The penalties compound. The strike-off risk is real.
This is the macro view. The actual calendar for your company is more granular — month-end GST returns, monthly TDS payments, payroll filings, professional tax, ESI/PF, state-specific obligations, and event-based filings (board changes, share transfers, charge creation). We track all of it, deadline by deadline, in a single calendar. Use the Compliance Finder → to see which obligations likely apply to your entity.

Build your checklist →Six categories.
One calendar.
Compliance work breaks into six distinct regulatory streams — each with its own forms, frequencies, and authorities. Most companies use a different vendor for each. We run all six under a single mandate, with one named partner accountable for the whole calendar.

A four-step engagement
that runs all year.
Compliance is not a project that ends. It is an ongoing relationship with a defined cadence. Here is how it runs across the year — and how you experience it.
Onboarding
& calendar build
First two weeks. We build a complete compliance calendar for your company — every applicable filing, every due date, every responsible party. You see the full year before we file anything.
Monthly
execution
The repeating work — month-end GST, TDS, payroll, and management reporting. Driven by the calendar, executed by your named partner, reviewed before filing. You see what's filed before it's filed.
Quarterly &
annual events
The bigger work — quarterly TDS, advance tax, annual ROC filings, tax audit, GSTR-9. We coordinate end-to-end, including liaison with your statutory auditor where required.
Notice &
response handling
When a notice arrives — from GST, income tax, ROC, EPFO, or any other authority — we read it, draft the response, and represent you with the authority. Notices don't sit in a folder waiting.
Three kinds of company.
Different starting points.
The Funded Startup
Series A or B companies with active investors, board reporting obligations, and FDI in the cap table. Compliance is now investor-visible — a missed FC-GPR or AOC-4 is a flagged item in the next due diligence.
The Scaling SME
Profitable mid-market companies that have outgrown a single CA but don't yet have an in-house compliance team. The calendar has grown faster than the structure to manage it.
The Listed Co.
Listed entities and companies preparing for listing. SEBI obligations, UPSI / insider trading frameworks, and continuous disclosure requirements layered on top of standard corporate compliance.
Hand us
your calendar.
Tell us what you're managing — current obligations, current vendor (if any), and any recent defaults or notices. Five fields. We'll come back within 2 working days with a scope, an indicative engagement, and a transition plan.
