Frequently asked
For an early-stage company, 2–3 weeks. For a mid-market M&A target, 4–8 weeks. The timeline depends on data room readiness, the number of jurisdictions, and the deal scope.
Secretarial diligence checks ROC filings, statutory registers, and meeting compliances. Legal diligence goes wider — contracts, IP, employment, litigation, and material obligations are all in scope.
Because FEMA breaches can compound (with penalties up to 3× the contravention amount), and remediation often needs RBI compounding. Pricing-guideline and end-use checks are critical before close.
