The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), through S.R.O. 875(I)/2026, has notified the introduction of a Certificate of Statutory Compliance (CSC), which will be issued by the Registrar of Companies.
The CSC is an official regulatory certification that provides verified confirmation, based on SECP records, that a company is duly incorporated under the Companies Act, 2017, remains active on the register, and has complied with applicable statutory filing and disclosure requirements as of the date of issuance of the certificate.
The framework will benefit domestic and international stakeholders, including investors, financial institutions, government authorities, business counterparties, and other market participants, by providing reliable verification of a company’s statutory and compliance status, thereby enhancing regulatory certainty.
The CSC will not be issued to companies that are inactive, undergoing strike-off or liquidation proceedings, involved in disputes, inquiries, or investigations, have outstanding filings or pending approvals, or whose records are maintained by the SECP and are incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading.
The CSC forms part of the SECP’s broader regulatory reform agenda aimed at strengthening corporate governance, improving the integrity of corporate records, promoting transparency, and facilitating ease of doing business in Pakistan. Applications for the CSC must be submitted to the Registrar of Companies.
The notification is available on the SECP website.
