Non-compliance can seriously impact your startup:
Filing | Penalty |
GST | ₹50/day for each return + interest |
TDS | ₹200/day + 1% interest/month |
ROC | ₹100/day for late AOC-4/MGT-7 |
Non-filing | Director disqualification or company strike-off |

Whether you’re managing a SaaS product or running an e-commerce brand, staying compliant is non-negotiable. But doing it yourself is not scalable.
