Policy Drafting.
The Companies Act and SEBI regulations require certain companies to adopt board-approved policies, including a CSR policy, a policy on related party transactions and a vigil mechanism for directors and employees. We draft policies that fit your size and governance structure, align them with the law and your actual processes, and help you take them through the board.
Typically 2–3 weeks for a set of policies, depending on internal review and the date of the board meeting that approves them.

Applicability check
We map which policies the law requires for your company and which are good practice, such as risk management, nomination and remuneration, or prevention of sexual harassment.
- 2
Current-state review
We review existing practices, committees and approval limits so each policy reflects how the company actually works.

Policy drafting
We draft each policy with its required content, for example CSR focus areas and monitoring, materiality thresholds for related party transactions, or reporting channels and protection under the vigil mechanism.

Board adoption
We prepare committee and board resolutions approving the policies and the disclosures needed on your website and in the board's report.

Implementation support
We set up the registers, formats and review cycle each policy needs to operate.
