Company Compliance

Annual filings, event-based forms, meetings and registers — kept current so a diligence request never turns into a three-week clean-up.

Quick answer

A private limited company's baseline annual compliance is Form AOC-4 for its financial statements, Form MGT-7 or MGT-7A for its annual return, DIR-3 KYC for every director, and a properly maintained set of minutes and statutory registers — on top of income tax, TDS and GST. AOC-4 is due within 30 days of the annual general meeting and the annual return within 60 days, and additional fees on late filing run at ₹100 per day per form with no upper limit.

Key components

Four layers of company compliance

Annual, event-based, governance and record-keeping.

📄

Annual filings

Financial statements and the annual return filed within the timelines that run from the date of the AGM.

Event-based forms

Director changes, capital increases, allotments, charge creation and special resolutions filed within their own short windows.

🗳️

Meetings and resolutions

Board meetings at the required intervals and a properly convened AGM, with notices, agendas and signed minutes.

📚

Registers and records

Members, directors, charges and related-party registers maintained so they can be produced on request.

How we work

Our process

From audit to a maintained record.

1

Compliance audit

Checking the MCA master data, past filings and registers to identify gaps and pending forms.

2

Calendar and documentation

Meeting dates, notices and resolution drafts prepared ahead of each requirement.

3

Filing

Forms prepared, certified where required, and filed within the statutory window.

4

Record upkeep

Registers and minute books updated after every event, not reconstructed at year end.

Why choose us

Why company compliance is worth doing properly

What sets our approach apart.

The daily fee has no cap

Additional fees of ₹100 per day per form keep accruing until the form is actually filed, which is why old defaults become disproportionately expensive.

Directors can be disqualified

Failure to file financial statements or annual returns for three continuous financial years attracts disqualification under Section 164(2).

Diligence looks at the record

Investors, acquirers and lenders read the MCA record and the minute book; gaps there slow transactions down more than they should.

FAQs

Company Compliance questions answered

What people ask before engaging us.

Form AOC-4 for the financial statements, Form MGT-7 or MGT-7A for the annual return, DIR-3 KYC for each director, and the income tax return. Depending on the company's activity, DPT-3, MSME-1 and event-based forms may also apply during the year.
The first annual general meeting must be held within nine months of the end of the first financial year, and subsequent AGMs within six months of the financial year end, with no more than fifteen months between two AGMs. A one person company is exempt from holding an AGM.
DPT-3 is an annual return relating to deposits and to amounts received that are not treated as deposits, such as loans from directors or advances from customers, and it is filed by companies each year based on outstanding balances at the end of the financial year. It is commonly missed because many companies assume it only applies where deposits have been accepted from the public.
No. Annual filings and director KYC are due regardless of activity. A company that will remain inactive can apply for dormant status under Section 455, which reduces the ongoing requirements, or be struck off if it will not be revived.
