Overview

What is a Secretarial Compliance Certificate?

A Secretarial Compliance Certificate is a formal document issued by a Company Secretary in practice, certifying that the company has complied with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, rules made thereunder, and other applicable laws. It covers ROC filings (annual returns, financial statements), board meetings, AGM, maintenance of statutory registers, and absence of defaults. Banks and lenders rely on it for credit decisions. We verify records, identify any gaps, and issue the certificate—or advise on rectification before certification.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about secretarial compliance certificates.

A Company Secretary in practice (holding COP) can issue the certificate. We are qualified and authorised to issue such certificates.

We identify defaults and advise on rectification. Once rectified, we issue the certificate. If rectification is not possible immediately, we may issue a qualified certificate or advise on the way forward.

Typically 3–5 working days if records are in order. Delays may occur if documents are incomplete or defaults need rectification.
