Common Challenges in Delhi

ServiceWhat We Do
Name Conflict with Listed EntitiesRoC Delhi cross-checks with SEBI database. Names similar to BSE/NSE listed companies rejected even without exact MCA match. Patron pre-screens against MCA + BSE/NSE
Dispersed Shareholder Documents7+ shareholders including NRIs/foreign nationals. Single missing attestation restarts 20-day MCA clock. Patron coordinates parallel collection for all 7+
AGM Deadline ViolationMust hold by 30 Sept (March FY). Rs 1L penalty on company + Rs 10K per officer + Rs 5K/day continuing. Higher than Pvt Ltd. Patron tracks all AGM deadlines
SEBI 3-Year Audit TrackIPO needs 3 years audited financials from incorporation (not from decision to list). Many incorporate without starting audit track. Patron plans from Day 1
Independent Director PlanningListed = 1/3 independent directors (SEBI LODR). Last-minute scramble before IPO. Patron advises recruitment 12-18 months before intended filing
