List of compliances for private limited company

Below are the full updated statutory compliance checklist for private limited company in 2020 :-

1. Appointment of Auditor

Before explaining this provision, we have to know the term and purpose of a statutory audit. Statutory audit is nothing but same as any other audit. It is needed for determining whether a company is providing fair dealing of its financial condition by providing bank balance, financial transactions, etc. For this purpose appointment of an auditor in every private company is a mandatory thing. As provided under the Companies Act, 2013, an auditor will be appointed by a company for a term of 5 years. And if it is a new business, the auditor has to be appointed within one month of the inauguration of the enterprise. So its a very important for private limited company compliances.

2. Annual ROC filing

Every private company are under an obligation to file details of annual accounts and returns of its shareholders, directors, etc. to the Register of the enterprise. This compliance is to be fulfilled once in a year in the below-mentioned ways-

a) Annual returns
It is mandatory for every private company to disclose the details of its annual returns within a period of 60 days. And the days will be counted from the last annual meeting held. The annual returns will be calculated from 1st April to 31st March.

b) Financial statements
Just like the aforementioned point, every private company are supposed to disclose the details of its balance sheet and financial statement of profit and loss within a period of 30 days from the last annual meeting held.

So above Annual Returns and Financial Statements like Balance Sheet & Profit and loss account finalisation is one of Most Important one of the list of compliances for private limited company, even through this compliance startups know about their financial growth and valuations.

3. Annual general meeting (AGM)

An annual general meeting of the shareholders of a private company, is mandatory to be held within a period of 1 year. But it should be held six months before the closing of the financial year. The first motto of AGM is to discuss certain essential topics like approval of financial statement, appointments of auditors, salary or remuneration for directors, dividend declaration, etc.

The AGM should not be held on public holidays. It should be held during business hours and at the registered office of the company, whether it is a city or village.

4. Board Meetings

Board meetings are considered as an essential condition for private companies just like the AGM. The first board meeting of a company should be held within a period of 30 days from the incorporation of the enterprise. There shall be at least four board meetings in a year, and the interval between two board meetings should not exceed a period of 120 days. However, in the case of small companies, there is an exception. Private Limited Companies are allowed to conduct at least two board meetings instead of four, which means it is an exception for start-ups because all startups are considered as small companies. Two directors should be present at the board meeting, or if there are more than two directors, 1/3rd of the total directors should attend the board meetings. But directors should be given at least 7 days notice prior to the date of the board meeting.A detailed discussion of the meeting should be recorded and drafted as a file, and that file should be sustained at the registered office of the company.

So above Annual General Meeting are mostly for the Shareholders to discuss about the Financial Growth in a Startup Company and Board Meeting are between the Directors to discuss about the operational growth in a Startup Company so from the startup point of view its a annual compliance for private limited company.
