The company must submit a business declaration within 180 days after its incorporation under Section 7 of the Companies Act 2013 and it must designate its initial auditor within 30 days according to Section 139(6). The board meeting must take place according to Section 173(1) within 30 days while the organization needs to maintain its statutory registers according to Sections 88 and 189. The organization needs to obtain PAN and TAN and GST registration according to Section 22 of the CGST Act 2017 in situations where these registrations become necessary. The company protects its logo and brand through trademark registration which operates under Sections 18 and 23 of the Trade Marks Act 1999.

After company registration, you must complete PAN, bank account, GST (if applicable), auditor appointment, and ROC filings. To protect your brand and work, register your logo and company name under trademark law and secure copyright for software, website content, and documents. Proper legal compliance avoids future penalties and disputes. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
