Even if the company does not conduct any business or any transactions, its directors still have certain statutory duties to fulfil which includes filing the annual returns, and keeping proper accounts of the company.
The above sentence is taken from an article in the online version of a national English daily.
The sentence is ungrammatical in that it says "duties includes" matching a singular verb with a plural noun.
The sentence should have been - Even if the company does not conduct any business or any transactions, its directors still have certain statutory duties to fulfil which include filing the annual returns, and keeping proper accounts of the company.
