What the service includes
Frequently asked questions
Is a pitch deck a legally recognised disclosure document for raising funds?
No. Under the Companies Act 2013 and SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, the statutory disclosure document for a private placement is Form PAS-4 (the Information Memorandum), required under Section 42 read with Rule 14 of the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules 2014. A pitch deck is a supplementary marketing document — it does not substitute for PAS-4 and cannot be used as the legal offer document.
What financial figures can we include without running into SEBI (PFUTP) risk?
SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices) Regulations 2003 prohibit materially misleading statements in connection with any securities transaction. You should present only audited financials or CA-certified management accounts, clearly labelled with the period and auditor name. Projections must be explicitly marked "unaudited forward-looking estimates" and should disclose key assumptions. Presenting unaudited figures as confirmed revenue or profit would risk a PFUTP inquiry.
Can we state a company valuation in the deck, and does SEBI or the government approve it?
No government body or SEBI approves a startup valuation for fundraising purposes. Any valuation figure in the deck must disclose the methodology used — Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), Net Asset Value (NAV), or comparable company multiples — and state that it is a management estimate, not a SEBI-approved or statutory figure. For a priced round, a registered valuer report under Section 247 of the Companies Act 2013 may be required to justify the issue price to the ROC.
Does our cap table data in the deck need to match any statutory filing?
Yes. Cap table figures presented to investors must be consistent with the latest Annual Return (Form MGT-7, filed under Section 92 of the Companies Act 2013) and the statutory register of members maintained under Section 88. Discrepancies between the deck and the MGT-7 or share register can create due diligence red flags and may constitute a misleading disclosure under SEBI (PFUTP) Regulations 2003 if the company is raising from institutional investors.
Does pvtltd.co prepare the PAS-4 Information Memorandum as part of this service?
No. This service covers pitch deck strategy, narrative structure, and design — the supplementary fundraising document founders use in investor conversations. PAS-4 preparation is a separate legal drafting engagement requiring a practising Company Secretary or advocate, as it is filed with the ROC under Rule 14 of the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules 2014 and carries statutory liability. We can refer you to a CS for that step.
The result
A deck that reads cleanly, looks premium, and can be sold as a repeatable founder product rather than a one-off design task.
