Compliance calendar
Your compliance year, on one page
For a March year-end, ROC work starts on 31 March and turns critical by 30 September. The AGM date controls ADT-1, AOC-4 and MGT-7, while DIR-3 KYC keeps every DIN alive for signing.
31 March
FY closes, books and audit trail move into the ROC file for AOC-4.
30 September
AGM deadline for most March year-end companies, and DIR-3 KYC deadline for DIN holders.
Day 15 and day 30
ADT-1 is due within 15 days of AGM; AOC-4 follows within 30 days.
Day 60
MGT-7 or MGT-7A closes the annual return cycle within 60 days of AGM.

Annual ROC Filing Services for Private Limited Companies
Every private limited company files two documents with the Registrar every year - AOC-4 carrying the audited financials within 30 days of the AGM, and MGT-7 carrying the annual return within 60. Miss either and the meter starts: Rs.100 a day, per form, with no upper limit and no mercy for small companies. We run this calendar for you, prepare both forms on the MCA V3 portal, and close the year with challans in your inbox - not notices.
What annual ROC filing actually covers
Annual ROC filing is the statutory reporting every company makes to the Registrar of Companies under the Companies Act, 2013 - Form AOC-4 for financial statements under Section 137 and Form MGT-7 for the annual return under Section 92 - filed on the MCA V3 portal after the AGM each year.
On 14 July 2025, MCA V3 changed the annual-filing rhythm: AOC-4 uses linked forms such as board report, auditor report, AOC-1, AOC-2 and CSR-2, while MGT-7 asks for shareholder Excel schedules and a registered-office photograph with latitude and longitude. That means the annual file is no longer a PDF upload exercise; it is a validation chain with consequences.

Filing late vs filing with us
The cost of drift is daily, per form and uncapped; the cost of a watched calendar is fixed before the year begins.
| Factor | Left to drift | RecommendedOn our calendar |
|---|---|---|
| AOC-4 six months late | Rs.18,000+ additional fee | Filed by day 30 |
| MGT-7 six months late | Rs.18,000+ additional fee | Filed by day 60 |
| DIN status | DIR-3 KYC can freeze signing | 30 September tracked |
| Director exposure | Section 164(2) risk after defaults | Year-wise archive maintained |
| Strike-off signal | Section 248(1) risk grows | Pending years flagged early |
| Bank diligence | Challan gaps delay checks | Filed copies ready |

Every ROC answer changes once dates, DIN status, and MCA V3 master data are checked. We confirm the route before a form reaches certification.

How a filing year runs
A ROC year is handled as a sequence: master data, audit, AGM, forms, certification, challans, next-year calendar.
- 1
Calendar setup
Step 1MCA V3 master data, DIN status and last-filed AOC-4/MGT-7 are checked before day 1.
- 2
Financials by August
Step 2Audited financial statements, board report and auditor report are collected before the AGM pressure starts.
- 3
AGM papers drafted
Step 3Notice, minutes and statutory register updates are aligned for the 30 September AGM deadline.
- 4
AOC-4 certified
Step 4Financial statements and linked forms are validated and filed within 30 days of the AGM.
- 5
MGT-7 evidence pack
Step 5Photo, lat-long, shareholder Excel and director details are reconciled for the 60-day return.

Challans delivered
Step 6Filed copies, SRNs and next-year dates are archived before the next 31 March cycle.
Where it breaks
Built for the company you run
Different companies miss ROC dates for different reasons; the consequence is still a daily fee or a blocked DIN.
The risk
Startup year one
The first AOC-4/MGT-7 cycle arrives while founders chase revenue.
How we handle it
We set the 30/60-day chain immediately after incorporation year-end.
The risk
Funded company
Investor diligence asks for challans before the next board round.
How we handle it
We keep filed copies and SRNs ready for every annual return check.
The risk
Family-run Pvt Ltd
Two years of 'later' can become Section 248 and 164(2) exposure.
How we handle it
We map pending years and file oldest defaults first.
The risk
OPC
No AGM does not mean no AOC-4 or MGT-7A.
How we handle it
We track the 180-day AOC-4 route and annual return filing separately.
Registry risk
Rs.100 a day never sleeps
The additional fee under the Companies Act is the quietest expensive thing in Indian compliance. It accrues daily, per form, with no ceiling - a company eighteen months late on both annual forms owes more in late fees than ten years of our retainer. The cure is unglamorous: a calendar someone is paid to watch. That someone is us.
Documents
What we'll ask you for
AOC-4, MGT-7 and ADT-1 need evidence, not promises; the checklist starts with filed history and ends with challans.

- Board and AGM minutes

FAQ
ROC filing questions
Short answers for directors who need the date, the form number, the fee consequence, and the next step before MCA V3 turns a small miss into a larger default.
Fast answersExpert support
- Annual ROC filing is the yearly AOC-4 and MGT-7 reporting under Sections 137 and 92 after the AGM, with ADT-1 and DIR-3 KYC tracked around the same calendar.
- For a March year-end, the AGM is normally by 30 September 2026, AOC-4 is due within 30 days, MGT-7/MGT-7A within 60 days, ADT-1 within 15 days, and DIR-3 KYC by 30 September.
- The additional fee is Rs.100 per day per form for AOC-4 and MGT-7/MGT-7A, with no upper cap under the Companies Act fee rules.
- From 14 July 2025, AOC-4 and MGT-7 moved to MCA V3 with linked forms, Excel schedules, office-photo evidence and stronger master-data validation.
- Yes. Every company on the register must file annual ROC forms even if turnover is zero or operations never started.
- AOC-4 files financial statements within 30 days of AGM; MGT-7 files the annual return within 60 days of AGM.
- Section 96 generally requires the AGM within 6 months of financial year-end, so a March year-end usually means 30 September.
- Persistent non-filing can trigger Section 248(1) strike-off risk and Section 164(2) director disqualification consequences.
