RJSC Maintenance
The Backbone of Corporate Governance
In Bangladesh, the legal responsibilities of a company do not end with incorporation. The Companies Act 1994 and a myriad of regulatory bodies including BIDA, NBR, and DIFE impose rigorous ongoing obligations on directors to maintain accurate corporate records, convene statutory meetings, and file annual returns.
As a Leading Law Firm in Bangladesh, LegalSeba LLP acts as your outsourced Corporate Secretary. We transform the complex burden of the 70+ regulatory touchpoints outlined in our Bangladesh Corporate Compliance Master Checklist into a streamlined, risk-mitigated process—ensuring your entity is perpetually prepared for legal due diligence, bank financing, or foreign investment.

The Hidden Cost of Non-Compliance
Regulatory enforcement mechanisms in Bangladesh are uncompromising. A fragmented approach to corporate maintenance exposes your business to severe operational and financial risks.
-
⚠
Compounding Financial Penalties
Failure to file the Annual Return (Schedule X) and Audited Financials within 21 days of the AGM results in compounding late fees of up to BDT 200 per day indefinitely at the RJSC.
-
⚠
Blocked Repatriation & Banking
Banks and BIDA routinely freeze foreign remittance, profit repatriation, and loan disbursements if an entity's RJSC or NBR status is not marked as fully compliant.
-
⚠
Director Liability
Continued failure to hold statutory meetings or maintain registers can lead to the piercing of the corporate veil, rendering directors personally liable for statutory violations under the Companies Act 1994.
How We Manage Your Year-Round Compliance
Managing the 70+ touchpoints of Bangladesh corporate compliance requires more than reactive filing—it requires a proactive, integrated legal strategy.
LegalSeba LLP provides an end-to-end secretarial ecosystem, functioning precisely as your outsourced in-house legal and compliance department.
Dedicated Legal Concierge
You are assigned a dedicated corporate lawyer who acts as your single point of contact for all regulatory bodies. We eliminate the friction of dealing with multiple agencies (RJSC, BIDA, NBR, DIFE) by managing all communications, drafting, and submissions on your behalf.
Proactive Deadline Mapping
Through our annual maintenance protocols, we digitally map your fiscal year against all statutory deadlines. We alert your management team 30 to 60 days in advance of upcoming AGM notices, BIDA renewals, and trade license expirations, ensuring zero late fees.
