Overview
While a One Person Company (OPC) enjoys many exemptions under the Companies Act (such as not holding an AGM), it is still strictly required to file its financial statements and annual returns with the Registrar of Companies. The financial statements must be filed via Form AOC-4 within 180 days from the closure of the financial year, and the annual return via Form MGT-7A within 60 days from the completion of the 6 months. Failing to meet these deadlines attracts a penalty of Rs. 100 per day per form.

Key Advantages of Timely OPC Compliance
Stay compliant to protect your limited liability status.
Avoid Rs. 100/Day Fines
Just like regular private limited companies, OPCs face a flat Rs. 100 per day penalty for late filing of AOC-4 and MGT-7A.
Prevent Strike-Off
If an OPC fails to file returns for two consecutive years, the ROC can initiate strike-off proceedings, effectively shutting down your business.
Maintain Corporate Veil
Keeping the company compliant ensures that your personal assets remain completely protected from business liabilities.
