Question 1

What does compliance with Contrarian actually cover?

Accepted Answer

Four fronts, under one team: entity and registration work (companies, foreign entities, branch and liaison offices), secretarial and ROC filings with financial statements and XBRL, FDI advisory with RBI filings and approvals, and the ongoing statutory calendar that keeps GST, TDS and labour obligations on time.

Question 2

Can Contrarian register our company or Indian entity?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We register companies and foreign entities, and set up branch, liaison and project offices as well as subsidiaries, with the documentation done right the first time so nothing surfaces later during diligence or audits.

Question 3

We are a foreign company entering India. Where do you fit?

Accepted Answer

From the first structural question (branch, liaison, project office or subsidiary) through FDI compliance, RBI filings and approvals, to the ongoing secretarial and tax calendar once you are running. One Contrarian team, from entry to operations.

Question 4

What are the regular ROC and secretarial obligations for a company?

Accepted Answer

Annual filings with financial statements, director and shareholding updates when they change, board and general meeting records, and event-based forms through the year. Contrarian tracks which ones apply to your entity and files them on time, in XBRL where required.

Question 5

What happens if we have missed filings from earlier years?

Accepted Answer

We quantify exactly what is pending along with additional fees, file in the correct order, and bring the record current. Most backlogs look worse than they are once someone lays them out clearly.

Question 6

What is the corporate veil, and why should we care about it?

Accepted Answer

Because it is the legal separation that protects your personal assets from business liabilities, and it survives only if the company is maintained properly: filings current, records in order, formalities observed. Keeping that veil intact is a core purpose of our compliance work.

Question 7

How do you keep track of everything that applies to us?

Accepted Answer

Every client runs on a compliance calendar built from their entity type, registrations and locations. Obligations are prepared ahead of their dates, and you see the status without asking. Regulatory changes, including XBRL and reporting-standard updates, reach you as guidance, not surprises.

Question 8

Do you handle labour law registrations and registers?

Accepted Answer

Yes: shops and establishment registrations, PF, ESI and professional tax registrations, and the ongoing registers and returns, coordinated with our payroll team so deductions and filings always agree.

Question 9

Do we still need a company secretary?

Accepted Answer

Where the law requires a practising company secretary's signature or certification, we work alongside one, either yours or from our network. Contrarian prepares the groundwork so their certification is quick and clean.

Question 10

How is compliance work priced?

Accepted Answer

Ongoing compliance runs as a simple annual retainer scoped to your entity and registrations. One-time work, like an entity set-up or an RBI approval, is a fixed fee agreed in writing before we start.
