A compliance default does not fix itself, and it gets more expensive every day it sits. Whether it is years of unfiled annual returns, a director disqualification, a struck-off company you need back, or an MCA notice you have just received, there is a defined route out — and the right route depends on the exact default. We handle penalty matters and default regularisation end to end, so a problem that feels alarming becomes a clear, costed plan.

What we handle

• Pending annual filings — clearing years of unfiled AOC-4 and MGT-7, including under the CCFS 2026 amnesty while it is open. See our guide to the Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme 2026.
• Adjudication and compounding — responding to penalty proceedings and, where the default is a criminal offence, compounding it. Our guide explains compounding versus adjudication.
• Director disqualification — addressing disqualification under Section 164(2) and the related DIN deactivation.
• Struck-off companies — reviving a company that the Registrar has struck off, where revival is the right call.
• Condonation of delay — applications where a delayed filing or act needs to be condoned.
• MCA notices — reading what a show-cause or adjudication notice actually requires, and responding properly and on time.

The CCFS 2026 window

If your company has pending annual filings, 2026 offers a genuine opportunity. The Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme waives 90 percent of the accumulated additional fees on annual filings made before 15 July 2026. Amnesty schemes are rarely extended, so a backlog is best cleared inside that window.

Why act early

The daily additional fee on a late filing has no upper limit, and three continuous years of unfiled annual returns disqualifies every director for five years. The earlier a default is addressed, the cheaper and simpler the route. See what is at stake if you miss the annual ROC filing deadline.

Frequently asked questions

How do I clear pending ROC filings?

File the pending AOC-4 and MGT-7 for each year, oldest first. Until 15 July 2026 the CCFS 2026 scheme waives 90 percent of the accumulated additional fees on those annual filings.

How do I remove a director disqualification?

Disqualification under Section 164(2) follows three years of non-filing and lasts five years, with the DIN deactivated. Resolving it is a separate, fact-specific process — the route depends on the company's status and how the disqualification arose.

What is the difference between compounding and adjudication?

Adjudication is the imposition of a civil penalty by an adjudicating officer. Compounding is settling a criminal offence on payment, to avoid prosecution. Which applies depends on whether the section breached prescribes a penalty or a fine.

Can a struck-off company be revived?

Yes, in appropriate cases a company struck off by the Registrar can be restored, though it is a defined process and revival is not always the right option — that judgement is part of the advice.
