Digital registers

Statutory register software for Indian company records.

Draft helps founders and operators maintain company registers in a structured workspace that feels closer to real compliance work than a loose spreadsheet.

Why registers need their own workspace

Statutory registers are not just old compliance books moved into a spreadsheet. They are working records that may support board decisions, annual return preparation, shareholding checks, charge records, loans and investments, related party tracking, and professional review. Draft gives founders a structured place to maintain those records without mixing them into unrelated finance sheets or personal folders.

  • Use separate register views so member records, director records, charges, loans, related parties, and deposits are not blended together.
  • Keep each register connected to the active company, reducing accidental cross-company updates for founders managing multiple entities.
  • Preserve record-level details such as names, dates, amounts, status, remarks, and supporting files where the module supports them.
  • Treat register maintenance as preparation for review, not as a guarantee that every statutory obligation is complete.

Founder-focused register examples

The page targets founders who search for statutory register software because they need something more concrete than a blank template. Draft can help organize the register of members, director and KMP records, significant beneficial owner context, charges, loans and investments, related party contracts, duplicate share certificates, and deposits. Each category has a different reason to exist, so the content is written around those use cases.

  • Member records can support cap table checks, allotment reviews, investor diligence, and annual return preparation.
  • Director and KMP records help founders keep board composition, appointments, resignations, and contact information reviewable.
  • Charges, loans, investments, and related party records help finance and CS collaborators locate transaction context faster.
  • SBO, duplicate certificate, and deposit categories give teams a place to record sensitive items for professional review where applicable.

A practical register maintenance workflow

Draft makes register work part of the normal company operating rhythm. A founder or operator records an event, checks whether it affects a register, updates the relevant entry, attaches supporting evidence, and saves or exports the record for review. This makes registers easier to revisit during annual filings, financing, bank reviews, or CS handoffs.

  • Event: identify what changed, such as a director update, share transfer, allotment, loan, charge, or related party contract.
  • Record: update the relevant register with the names, dates, amounts, categories, and notes available to the team.
  • Evidence: attach board approvals, agreements, receipts, filings, or supporting PDFs in the Documents Vault.
  • Review: ask the CS or advisor to verify statutory applicability, format, completeness, and any official filing step.

How registers connect to other Draft modules

Registers become more useful when they are not isolated. Draft connects them with the Master Profile, Compliance Engine, AI Drafter, Cap Table view, and Documents Vault. That lets founders prepare better board documents, answer ownership questions, and keep evidence ready for a professional to review.

  • Master Profile keeps company-level identifiers and people records available across modules.
  • AI Drafter can use structured context when generating resolutions or meeting records related to register events.
  • Cap Table views can reflect shareholder and capital context for founder and investor conversations.
  • Documents Vault keeps register exports, signed records, and proof documents close to the source data.

Compliance boundaries for digital registers

Digital register software can improve organization, but it should not imply automatic statutory completion. Draft is careful to frame registers as structured records for preparation, review, and evidence management. The company, founders, and their professionals remain responsible for checking required formats, filings, signatures, approvals, and record retention obligations.

  • Draft does not certify that a register is legally complete for every company and every fact pattern.
  • Draft does not replace required board, shareholder, CS, CA, lawyer, or regulatory review.
  • Draft does not submit register-related filings to MCA or any government portal.
  • Draft helps teams keep cleaner records so professional review starts from better information.

Founder questions

Which statutory registers can Draft help maintain?

Draft includes structured workspace support for member, director and KMP, significant beneficial owner, charge, loan and investment, related party, duplicate certificate, and deposit-related register categories.

Why use software instead of a spreadsheet for registers?

A spreadsheet can store rows, but Draft keeps registers connected to company profile data, document evidence, board records, cap table context, and review workflows.

Can Draft export or save register evidence?

Draft is designed to keep register records and supporting evidence in the company workspace, with export or storage paths where available. Final format and statutory sufficiency should be reviewed professionally.

Are digital registers automatically compliant?

No. Digital records still need accurate data, proper approvals, correct format, retention discipline, and professional review where required. Draft helps prepare and organize; it does not certify compliance.
