Privacy Policy

1. Commitment to Client Confidentiality

At Abhay Kumar Pal & Co. (AKP), we recognize that the confidentiality of corporate governance registers, minute books, financial accounts, board resolutions and promoter details is of paramount importance. As a practicing Company Secretaries firm governed by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI), we maintain the highest standards of professional secrecy and data protection.

2. Information We Collect

In the course of providing corporate secretarial, SEBI listing, FEMA RBI compliance and trademark filing services, we collect both public and non-public personal and corporate information. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Director & Partner Credentials: Names, Permanent Account Numbers (PAN), Tax Deduction Accounts (TAN), Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) and Director Identification Numbers (DIN).
• Corporate Registers: Minutes of board and shareholder meetings, register of members, charge files and loan logs.

3. How We Use and Protect Data

All files, corporate disclosures and director identities collected are used strictly for filing regulatory returns with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), SEBI, RBI and the Trademark Registry.

We implement industry-standard physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure. We do not sell, trade or share any client details with third-party marketing companies. Data is shared only with Government Registrars (e.g., MCA21, RBI FIRMS, IP India portals) in direct execution of the contracted compliance services.
