5.2. Registration Requirements and Procedures

Company incorporation is executed entirely online through the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC) digital portal (roc.gov.bd). Post-incorporation, companies must adhere to strict filing windows to avoid daily compounding fines (often exceeding BDT 200/day): Schedule X (Annual Return) must be filed within 21 days of the AGM; the audited Balance Sheet and P&L must be submitted within 30 days of the AGM; Form XII (Changes in Directors) must be filed within 14 days of the change; and Form VI (Registered Office Change) must be submitted within 28 days of relocation.
