Company Compliance Overview

Understanding the ongoing regulatory obligations every registered company in India must meet under the Companies Act, 2013.

Quick answer

Every company incorporated in India — private limited, public limited or one person company — is subject to recurring compliance administered by the Registrar of Companies (ROC). This includes annual filings such as AOC-4 and MGT-7, board and general meetings, statutory registers, auditor appointments, and event-based filings whenever the company changes its directors, capital or address. Missing a deadline attracts additional government fees and can expose directors to penalties, which is why most companies engage a compliance partner to track and file on their behalf.

What sets our approach apart.

Non-compliance compounds quickly

Additional fees for late ROC filings accrue daily and can run into lakhs over time.

Certain lapses attract penalties on directors and officers, not just the company.

One calendar, not scattered deadlines

A single compliance calendar reduces the risk of missing a filing buried in the year.

FAQs

Company Compliance Overview questions answered

What people ask before engaging us.

Every private limited company must hold board meetings and an AGM, file annual returns (MGT-7) and financial statements (AOC-4), and maintain statutory registers, regardless of turnover.
The form can usually still be filed with an additional government fee that increases the longer the delay continues, and prolonged non-filing can lead to the company being marked as a defaulter.
Yes, though reduced — a dormant company must file a return of dormant status annually and hold at least one board meeting in each half-year.
Event-based compliance is triggered by a specific change, such as a new director or a shifted registered office, and must generally be filed within a fixed number of days of that event, independent of the annual calendar.
