From Form A to annual filings — what every directorship must keep current with the Securities & Exchange Commission of Pakistan.
Incorporating with the SECP is the start, not the finish line. A private limited company in Pakistan must meet ongoing statutory obligations to keep its incorporation in good standing and its directors free of personal liability.
Annual obligations
Form A (annual return) within 30 days of the AGM, audited financial statements within 30 days of the AGM, change in particulars filings (Form 29) within 15 days of any board change, and beneficial ownership declarations as required under Section 452 of the Companies Act 2017.
Triggered filings
Any allotment of new shares, transfer of shares, change in registered office, alteration of memorandum or articles, or appointment of an auditor triggers a specific form and a strict timeline. Late filings attract per-day fines that compound quickly.
Beneficial ownership
Since 2020, every company must maintain a register of beneficial owners and file Form 31 with the SECP. Non-disclosure carries heavy penalties under the Anti-Money Laundering framework.
How we help
We run quarterly compliance reviews for our corporate clients and file every required form so the company calendar never becomes a liability calendar.
