Compliance for Farmer Producer Companies

What is FPC Compliance?

FPC (Farmer Producer Company) compliance refers to ensuring that a Farmer Producer Company adheres to all legal and regulatory requirements as set out by the Companies Act, 2013, and other relevant laws. This includes company incorporation, governance practices, regulatory filings, and other statutory obligations necessary for smooth and legal operation.
