Indian Corporate Law Service

The new Regional Director (Northern Region-II) office in Chandigarh and the ROC Haryana office are now operational, bringing corporate regulation closer to corporates in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, J&K, and Ladakh. #CorporateGovernance #EaseOfDoingBusiness

Had a meaningful interaction with newly inducted ICLS Officer Trainees, discussing their crucial role in strengthening corporate governance, transparency and an ethical business ecosystem while enabling ease of doing business. Their enthusiasm and thoughtful engagement reflected a deep sense of duty and readiness to contribute to nation-building. Interactions like these reinforce confidence in the future of India’s institutional and economic governance. Wishing them every success as they embark on this journey of service and leadership. @PMOIndia @narendramodi @AmitShah @nitin_gadkari @NHAI_Official @MORTHIndia

The immaculate march of soldiers, marked by unmatched discipline and coordination, left a lasting impression. The aerial battle formation featuring Rafale, MiG-29, Apache, LCH, and Su-30 aircraft added to the thrill, while the atmosphere swelled with pride. @IAF_MCC

The next day, the group witnessed the Republic Day Parade - truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The majestic Bactrian camels & trained Zanskar ponies of the Army captivated the audience. The display of India’s military prowess was awe-inspiring.

This 2026 Republic Day, ICLS Officer Trainees played an active role in hosting over 90 Prime Minister Internship Scheme (@PMInternship) interns from companies across the country. These interns attended the celebrations as special guests, with OTs serving as liaison officers.

Other eminent speakers included Sh. Rajneesh Vohra (Retd. Addl. Commissioner, @IncomeTaxIndia) on tax benefits for startups, CS Vinay A. Mehta on Alternative Investment Funds, & CS Arvind Kumar Meena with Adv. Raghav Dhoot on fundraising compliance & transaction documentation.

The seminar explored tax benefits for startups including income tax holidays and angel tax provisions. LLPs offer operational advantages through flexible profit-sharing arrangements via agreements & substantially reduced compliance obligations compared to traditional companies.

ICSI/@icsi_cs Indore Chapter hosted a program on "Transforming Start-up Ecosystem" on 16.01.2026, exploring Limited Liability Partnerships as organizational vehicles for emerging ventures. Dr. Anjali Pokhriyal ICLS, ROC Gwalior, graced the event as Chief Guest. @startupindia

Delighted to share that the Indian Corporate Law Service (@ICLSInd) Academy's annual magazine is now live! 📖 This edition is a wonderful mosaic of perspectives from across India's corporate law ecosystem — featuring fresh insights from ICLS Officer Trainees as they embark on their journey, thoughtful articles on corporate law (including a contribution from me), and creative expressions that showcase the diverse talents within our officer community. Issac implores not to forget the learnings from the Satyam Scam. Parth walks us through the changing corporate governance landscape in the country. @altapshaikhICLS wrote a beautiful poem called ‘Her’. The magazine is dotted with gems like these. @Ankita_Icls Ma’am writes about her experiences during the PM Intership Scheme. My contribution explores a critical challenge in corporate governance: "𝗨𝗻𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗯: 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀". The article examines how circular and cross shareholding arrangements obscure true corporate ownership, undermine governance, and enable financial manipulation. I explore the regulatory framework — particularly Sections 19 & 67 of the Companies Act — and advocate for enhanced enforcement to ensure transparency, protect stakeholders, and strengthen India's corporate integrity in an evolving global landscape. What makes this publication special is how it bridges the analytical rigor of corporate law with the human experiences and creative spirit of those who serve in this field. From examining complex regulatory frameworks to sharing artistic perspectives, it reflects the multifaceted nature of our service. 🔗 The magazine can also be accessed in the form of a flipbook here: heyzine.com/flip-book/7b20… Kudos to ICLS Academy and all contributors for putting together this excellent compilation! #CorporateLaw #ICLS #RegulatoryGovernance #LegalInsights #India 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒓: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑰𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒘 𝑺𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆 (𝑰𝑪𝑳𝑺).

The session on empowerment of police officials in dealing with economic offences was organised by the Reserve Bank of India in collaboration with the Academy on 15.10.2025.
