ACTIVE / INC-22A status review.
Check whether the company falls within the historical ACTIVE filing scope and assess outstanding compliance.
The right support.
With the details in view.
Establish whether the company falls within the historical ACTIVE verification requirement and whether an unresolved status affects planned filings. We review incorporation date, exemptions and MCA records before requesting evidence. INC-22A is not a routine annual filing or a universal requirement for newly formed companies.
First, establish what applies
Company, LLP and proprietorship obligations differ. Filing requirements can continue even when a company or LLP has no revenue; audit and governance rules must be assessed separately.
What the scoped work can cover
- Written ACTIVE applicability and status assessment
- Dependency and evidence checklist where filing is needed
