Overview
Every company registered in India is legally obligated to file its Annual Returns with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) within 30 days (for AOC-4) and 60 days (for MGT-7) of its Annual General Meeting (AGM). Form AOC-4 contains the company's financial statements (Balance Sheet, P&L, Audit Report), while Form MGT-7 contains the details of directors, shareholders, and board meetings held during the year. Delaying these filings attracts a brutal penalty of Rs. 100 per day per form, with no upper cap. Continuous default leads to the company being struck off and directors being disqualified.

Step-by-Step Filing Timeline
Our step-by-step advisory workflow.
Step 1: Document Finalization
Post the statutory audit, we prepare the Director’s Report, MGT-9 (Extract of Annual Return), and AGM resolutions.
Step 2: Form AOC-4 Preparation
We input the financial data into Form AOC-4, attach the signed Audit Report and Financial Statements, and sign it using the Director’s DSC.
Step 3: Form MGT-7 Preparation
We input the shareholding structure and meeting details into Form MGT-7 (or MGT-7A for small companies/OPCs).
Step 4: Submission & Fee Payment
Both forms are uploaded to the MCA V3 portal, and the normal government filing fees are paid.
Key Advantages of Timely ROC Filing
Timely filing protects your company's legal identity and prevents massive financial drains.
Avoid Rs. 100/Day Penalty
Since there are two forms, delaying filing costs the company Rs. 200 for every single day of delay. Timely filing saves lakhs in penalties.
Prevent Director Disqualification
If a company fails to file returns for 3 consecutive years, the MCA automatically disqualifies all its directors from holding board positions in ANY company for 5 years.
Maintain Good Standing
Banks, investors, and vendors check a company's MCA master data. A "Defaulting" status immediately destroys corporate credibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers to common regulatory inquiries.
What is the deadline for filing?▼
Assuming the AGM is held on September 30th, AOC-4 must be filed by October 29th (30 days), and MGT-7 must be filed by November 28th (60 days).
Do we have to file if the company had zero turnover?▼
Yes. Even if the company did absolutely no business, you must hold an AGM, get the "Nil" accounts audited by a CA, and file AOC-4 and MGT-7 to maintain active status.
