ESOP Corporate Filings - Overview
📌 TL;DR - ESOP Corporate Filings Services at a Glance
ESOP corporate filings are the recurring MCA submissions a company must make after its ESOP scheme is approved - MGT-14 within 30 days of any special resolution under Section 117(2), PAS-3 within 30 days of share allotment on exercise under Section 39(4) read with Rule 12, MGT-7 Annual Return with ESOP movement disclosure under Section 92, and Form SH-6 register maintenance at the registered office. Default penalties range from Rs 100 to Rs 1,000 per day. Patron's annual retainer covers all of this.
ESOP corporate filings are the ongoing compliance layer that keeps your scheme legally valid after Day 1. Every grant tranche generates Board minutes. Every exercise generates an allotment Board Resolution plus a PAS-3 within 30 days. Every scheme modification needs a fresh special resolution and MGT-14. Every annual return requires the ESOP movement table in MGT-7 and the Rule 12(9) disclosure in the Directors' Report.
Companies miss these silently and discover the gap at Series A diligence or at an MCA penalty notice.
