Questions, answered.
Everything you might want to know about Smriti and staying compliant in India. Still unsure about something? Reach out from the contact page and we will help.
Does Smriti file the forms for me?+
No. Smriti reminds, you (and your CA) file. We track every statutory due date for your entity and email you ahead of time so nothing is missed. The actual filing happens on the MCA, GST or Income-Tax portal by you or your CA.
How does Smriti know my deadlines?+
From your entity type and date of incorporation. Pvt Ltd, LLP and OPC each have a fixed statutory calendar (AOC-4, MGT-7, Form 8, Form 11, DIR-3 KYC and so on) plus first-year one-time forms computed from your incorporation date. Flip on GST and TDS flags to add those returns.
Can my CA get the reminders too?+
Yes. Add your CA's email (and your team's) as recipients and they get the exact same 30/15/7/3/1/0-day reminders. It keeps you and your CA in sync so filings don't fall through the cracks.
Is it really free?+
Every signup gets a full year completely free, counted from the day you join, no credit card required. It's free now, and if we ever introduce pricing later it'll be simple and honest, and we'll email you well in advance. No surprise charge at renewal.
What if a due date changes?+
MCA and CBDT extend dates fairly often. Smriti's calendar is reviewed and updated, and every reminder tells you to confirm the date with your CA. Smriti is a reminder service, not legal or tax advice.
What happens if I miss an MCA deadline?+
Most ROC forms (AOC-4, MGT-7, LLP Form 8 and Form 11, and others) carry an additional fee of Rs 100 a day with no upper cap, so the cost grows every single day you are late. Some defaults are worse: a late DIR-3 KYC deactivates the director's DIN and costs Rs 5,000 to reactivate, and missing INC-20A can attract a penalty of Rs 50,000 on the company plus Rs 1,000 a day on its officers. Smriti is built to make sure you never reach that point.
Do I still have to file a NIL GST return?+
Yes. Even with no sales or purchases in a period, a NIL GSTR-1 and a NIL GSTR-3B are mandatory for every regular GST-registered taxpayer. Skipping a NIL return still attracts a late fee and can block the next period's filing, so Smriti reminds you about NIL returns just like any other.
Does Smriti file my returns for me?+
No. Smriti is a reminder service, not a filing agent. We track every statutory due date for your entity and email you (and your CA) ahead of time so nothing slips. The actual filing happens on the MCA, GST or Income Tax portal, done by you or your CA.
Is Smriti really free?+
Yes. Every signup gets a full year completely free, counted from the day you join, with no credit card required. If we ever introduce pricing later it will be simple and honest, and we will email you well in advance. There is no surprise charge at renewal.
Can I add my CA or accountant?+
Yes. Add your CA's email (and your team's) as recipients and they receive the exact same 30, 15, 7, 3, 1 and 0-day reminders you do. It keeps you and your CA in sync so a filing never falls through the cracks because each of you assumed the other had it.
