INTRODUCTION

All registered companies are required to file statutory company returns. Some of these returns are periodic and some are event driven. This process of the eServices application makes available steps involved in filing a return with Company Registration Office (CRO) of SECP. Documents are supplied to the system and upon acceptance; a filing certificate is issued to the company. If however, discrepancies are observed then a clarification email is issued (depending on the nature of the discrepancy). The company is then asked to submit a revised return.

LOG ON TO ESERVICES

The client will connect to eServices and log on to his/her account or signup in case of a new user. (Click here to login)

FORM SELECTION

A successful logon to eServices will lead to a Process Listing/ Account Home page. As the Company has been incorporated, rest of the previously disabled options will now be made available to the client by the eServices system.

The list of return documents consists of a number of forms through which a client will enter his/her company’s factual data. In this all available forms are filled up and sent to the CRO individually unlike the previous processes in which one data input form automatically fills up all the documents. This difference is mainly because each input form caters to a different purpose/need of statutory return of the company.

Step 2: Form Specific Input
