Corporate Law
Company incorporations, shareholders agreements, ESOP structuring, mergers and restructurings, secretarial compliance, and NCLT matters — under the Companies Act 2013 and allied legislation.
Our Corporate Law Practice
PSCA & Co.'s Corporate Law practice covers the full range of corporate advisory and compliance work under the Companies Act 2013 — from incorporation and entity structuring through to restructuring, mergers, and insolvency proceedings.
The practice handles secretarial compliance for private limited companies, public limited companies, and LLPs — including annual filings, board meeting compliance, statutory registers, and ROC returns. For M&A and restructuring transactions, the firm advises on merger schemes, demergers, slump sales, and business transfers, including applications before the NCLT under Sections 230–232 of the Companies Act 2013.
The practice also covers foreign investment structuring under FEMA — inbound FDI, ODI by Indian companies, ECB documentation, and filings with the RBI under the applicable Master Directions.

Our Approach
Structure & Scope
Review the corporate, tax, and regulatory context of the proposed transaction or compliance requirement. Identify applicable statutory provisions, timelines, and required approvals.
Document Preparation
Prepare requisite board resolutions, shareholder resolutions, agreements, scheme documents, or filings — drafted with clause-level precision and reviewed at partner level before issue.
Regulatory Filings
File all requisite forms with the Registrar of Companies, NCLT, RBI, or other regulatory authorities — with tracking of acknowledgements, objections, and follow-up actions.
Ongoing Compliance
Post-transaction compliance calendar setup — tracking annual filings, renewal deadlines, board meeting requirements, and FEMA annual reporting obligations for the entity.
