The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has rolled out a series of amendments that modernise the compliance framework for companies. The reforms prioritise transparency, responsible governance, and digitisation—objectives that align with India’s growing global business footprint.

Board Governance Standards

Independent director requirements now extend to mid-sized companies with paid-up capital above ₹5 crore. Boards must document annual competency assessments and integrate risk oversight into quarterly reporting. Our corporate advisory team helps directors satisfy these obligations while preserving strategic flexibility.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Disclosures

Sustainability reporting is no longer limited to large listed entities. The Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) Core framework now applies to companies exceeding ₹250 crore in turnover. Organisations must capture data around emissions, diversity, and supply chain ethics to maintain investor confidence.

Compliance Digitisation and Penalties

Filing timelines have tightened, and late submissions attract automated penalties. The new MCA portal integrates director identification, charge management, and share capital history, enabling real-time regulatory visibility. Businesses should update their internal compliance calendars and automate reminders to avoid disruptions.
