Company Annual Compliances

Running of private Limited or a public limited company was used to be a simple procedure under Companies Act, 1956 as enlistment registrar of companies ("ROC") didn't use to make any severe move against defaulters, But under new companies Act, 2013 there are stringent reformatory arrangements for resistance and if there is any occurrence of default; organization, administrative faculty, are obligated to substantial punishment in money related terms and other non-fiscal correctional results too.
