Register Maintenance in Chennai (2025) | Statutory Compliance Made Simple with Crediblecs

Why Register Maintenance Matters in 2025

Running a business in Chennai isn’t just about growth — it’s also about staying legally compliant. One area where many companies go wrong is register maintenance.

Statutory registers are official records required under the Companies Act, 2013, and labour laws like PF, ESI, PT, and Shops & Establishments Act. Missing or outdated registers can lead to penalties, inspections, or even prosecution.

⚠️ In fact, in 2023, a Chennai manufacturing unit was fined ₹75,000 during a labour inspection for not maintaining wage and overtime registers.

At Crediblecs, we keep your registers audit-ready, penalty-free, and compliant with the latest 2025 rules — from just ₹999/month.

What Is Register Maintenance?

Register maintenance means preparing, updating, and preserving statutory registers required by law. These records:

  • Act as legal proof during audits/inspections.
  • Must be up-to-date and accurate.
  • Can be maintained in manual or digital format (digital now preferred for inspections).
Registers Every Business Must Maintain
1. Under the Companies Act, 2013
  • Register of Members (shareholders)
  • Register of Directors & Key Managerial Personnel
  • Register of Charges
  • Register of Loans & Investments
  • Register of Contracts
2. HR & Payroll Registers
  • Attendance Register
  • Wage/Salary Register
  • Bonus Register
  • Overtime Register
  • Leave & Holiday Register
3. PF & ESI Registers
  • ESI Contribution & Benefit Registers
4. Professional Tax Registers
  • Deduction & Payment Register
  • Statutory Deduction Register (PT, TDS, etc.)

👉 Many SMEs in Chennai miss these state-specific registers, leading to surprise fines.
