Advisory Services refer to expert guidance provided to businesses to help them navigate complex challenges, make informed decisions, and achieve their strategic objectives. Maksim Consultants provides these services across business strategy, taxation, transactions, and legal compliance. We act as an external expert team, offering the knowledge and experience you need to setup, manage, and grow your business in India efficiently and in full compliance with the law.
The Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) governs all foreign exchange transactions in India. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties, including hefty fines and legal prosecution. Our FEMA Advisory Services ensure that your investments, ongoing operations, and financial transactions are structured correctly and reported accurately to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), mitigating the risk of contraventions.
The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) is the primary adjudicating authority for corporate law disputes, insolvency matters, and approvals under the Companies Act. The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) is the appellate body that hears appeals against the orders passed by the NCLT. If a company is aggrieved by an NCLT order, it can appeal to the NCLAT within 45 days.
Compounding is a legal mechanism that allows a person or company who has inadvertently violated FEMA provisions to voluntarily admit the contravention, plead guilty, and seek a settlement by paying a penalty. This process, managed by the RBI, helps avoid prolonged legal proceedings. We assist in preparing and filing the compounding application and representing your case before the RBI.
All companies in India must file annual returns (Form MGT-7) and financial statements (Form AOC-4) within 60 days and 30 days of holding their Annual General Meeting, respectively. Additionally, event-based filings (e.g., appointment of a director, change of address) must be filed within 30 days of the event. Our Advisory Services team ensures you never miss a deadline.
Absolutely not.
