Company Law Ready Reckoner

Company Law Ready Reckoner is a comprehensive, practice-oriented reference work designed to serve as a single-volume operational manual for Indian company law under the Companies Act 2013. It is expressly conceived as a ready reckoner—a book to be consulted repeatedly in the course of daily professional work—rather than as a purely academic or theoretical treatise. The editorial philosophy of this book is grounded in practical necessity. It focuses primarily on routine, recurring, and compliance-critical issues faced by companies, directors, and professionals in corporate functioning. Matters that are not typically encountered on a day-to-day basis—such as detailed NCLT litigation or public issues of securities (largely governed operationally by SEBI)—are covered at a foundational level, thereby preserving the book's usability, clarity, and speed of reference. The Edition reflects the mature, enforcement-oriented phase of Indian corporate regulation, in which governance standards, management accountability, procedural discipline, and electronic compliance systems play a central role.

This publication is intended for readers who apply company law in practice, including:

• Practising Company Secretaries, Chartered Accountants, Cost Accountants, Advocates, and corporate consultants
• In-House Legal, Secretarial, Compliance, & Governance Teams
• Directors, Independent Directors, Key Managerial Personnel, and senior management
• Professionals engaged in ROC filings, board and general meetings, corporate governance, and statutory compliance
• Students of CS, CA, CMA, & Law, seeking a procedural and application-oriented understanding of company law beyond bare provisions

The Present Publication is the 18th Edition | 2026, and is updated till 20th December 2025.
