Annual Compliances
Every company and LLP has a fixed set of filings due each year, regardless of how much or how little business activity there was.
Annual compliance for a company typically includes holding board meetings and the AGM, filing financial statements in Form AOC-4, filing the annual return in Form MGT-7 (or MGT-7A for OPCs and small companies), auditor appointment confirmation via ADT-1, DIR-3 KYC for every director, and DPT-3 for reporting outstanding loans or deposits. LLPs have a lighter but separate calendar centred on Form 8 and Form 11.
What's on the annual calendar
The recurring filings we track for clients throughout the year.
- Board meetings and Annual General Meeting (AGM)
- Financial statements in Form AOC-4 (or AOC-4 XBRL, where applicable)
- Annual return in Form MGT-7 / MGT-7A
- Auditor appointment confirmation in Form ADT-1
- DIR-3 KYC for every director
- Form DPT-3 for loans and deposits, and Form 8/11 for LLPs
Compliance by entity type
The calendar differs depending on the structure.
Private Limited Company
AGM, AOC-4, MGT-7, ADT-1 and board meeting requirements across the year.
OPC
No AGM requirement, simplified MGT-7A, but the same AOC-4 and ADT-1 obligations.
LLP
Form 11 (annual return) and Form 8 (statement of accounts) instead of the AOC-4/MGT-7 pair.

Why annual compliance shouldn't be reactive
What sets our approach apart.
Deadlines are fixed, not flexible
Most annual filings have hard statutory deadlines with escalating late fees, regardless of the reason for delay.
Filings depend on each other
AOC-4 and MGT-7 both depend on the AGM being held and financials being finalised first — a delay upstream delays everything downstream.
Directors carry personal exposure
Persistent non-filing can lead to director disqualification under Section 164, affecting every company they're associated with.
