Event Based Compliances in a Company

Overview of Event-Based Compliances for Companies

The Event-Based Compliances are the compliances that are mandator to be complied with on happening of a particular event and then required submitting of all information to the Registrar of Company. These event-based compliances relate to any unforeseen tasks, occurrences, or new dimensions of a company.

Once a private company is registered with the Registrar of Companies as per the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and when a compliance requirement arises with an occurrence of any particular event such as a change in directors, change in share capital, change in MOA or AOA or change in registered office then such compliance is known as Event-based compliance. These Compliances are generally applicable to a company or an LLP. These compliances are important because, with any occurrence of an event or any such change in the Company, the Company is required to notify the Registrar.

The event-based compliances in a company are generally one-time requirements by the concerned laws or are desirable to remain legal perfect, and protected and should be taken care of by the directors of the Company. These compliances should be notified to concerned authorities or ROC within a specific period of time after the occurrence of such event or any change made.
