What you need

  • A Khanal ID (your e-mail and password, with two-step sign-in if you turned it on)
  • The company's CIN or LLPIN, type and listing status
  • Its last audited numbers: paid-up capital, turnover, net worth, net profit and borrowings
  • A Google account, if you want the company's documents in Google Drive

Sign in and choose a plan

  1. Open https://finance.khanals.in/secretarial/.
  2. Sign in with your Khanal ID. See Sign in and two-step if you need help.
  3. If your organisation has no Secretarial plan yet, the app opens Plan & billing.
  4. Click Start free for CS Starter (5 companies, no card), or Start 14-day free trial to try CS Practice first.

Add your first company

  1. Click Dashboard in the left menu.
  2. Click + Add first company. To look around first, click Load demo company instead.
  3. Type the Company name and the CIN / LLPIN, for example ABC Infra Private Limited.
  4. Click Fetch from MCA next to the CIN to fill the profile from the public MCA record, if your plan has look-ups left.
  5. Choose the Type and Listing.

Complete the company

  1. Open the Applicability & AGM tab and answer the questions. They decide items such as MR-3, CSR and independent directors, with the reason for each.
  2. Open the Directors & KMP tab and click + Director / KMP, or use Directors from MCA to bring them in.
  3. Open the Documents tab and set up the company's Google Drive folder. See Security and privacy for the two Drive choices.

Good to know

  • Your K-Secretarial account also opens K-Finance in its free version.

Common errors

"Select or create an organisation in K-Finance first."

Your Khanal ID is not in any organisation yet. Create one in K-Finance at https://finance.khanals.in/, or ask a colleague to add you, then open K-Secretarial again.

"No access" when I open K-Secretarial

Your role does not include the Secretarial workspace. Ask the owner or an admin to give you the Finance Manager, Accountant, Admin or Owner role in K-Finance → Settings → Team & roles.

"A company with this CIN / LLPIN already exists here."

The company is already in your organisation. Open Companies and search for it. If it was deleted, restore it from Drive & settings → Deleted records.

Fetch from MCA does not fill anything

Check the CIN. Each plan has a monthly allowance of MCA look-ups, shown next to the button. When it is used up, type the details by hand.
