Every company registered in India knows the stress of the annual compliance cycle. The looming deadline for ROC Annual Filing with the Registrar of Companies (ROC), under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) is a critical obligation, not an option. Falling behind means facing hefty fines, penalties and even Director disqualification.
The good news? You do not have to navigate this complex legal maze alone. By partnering with a dedicated ROC Filing Consultant like Praman Advisors, you can ensure flawless, on-time MCA Compliance, giving you peace of mind to focus on what you do best-growing your business.
What is ROC Annual Filing and why is it Essential?
ROC Annual Filing is the mandatory process where companies submit their financial statements and annual returns to the Registrar of Companies every year. This is a non-negotiable requirement under the Companies Act 2013 designed to ensure transparency and accountability.
Key Forms to be Filed:
- Form AOC-4 (Filing of Financial Statements): This includes the company's Audited Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Account and the Auditor's Report.
- Form MGT-7/MGT-7A (Annual Return): This form provides comprehensive details about the company's management, shareholding structure and Directors.
- DIR-3 KYC: Mandatory annual KYC for every Director Identification Number (DIN) holder.
- ADT-1 (Appointment of Auditor): Filed for the appointment or re-appointment of the
- statutory auditor.
Critical ROC Filing Due Dates:
To avoid severe late fees (₹100 per day per form!), you must adhere to the timeline related to your Annual General Meeting (AGM):
|
Compliance Requirement |
Relevant Form |
Due Date |
|
Hold Annual General Meeting (AGM) |
N/A |
On or before September 30th |
|
Filing of Financial Statements |
Form AOC-4 |
Within 30 days of the AGM |
|
Filing of Annual Return |
Form MGT-7/MGT-7A |

|

Pro Tip: Timely filing is paramount. A delay of even one day triggers the additional fee meter, which can quickly turn into a massive penalty. Do not risk disqualification of Directors.
