What annual compliance does a Private Limited company need?

A Private Limited company must hold board meetings and an AGM, get its accounts audited, file financial statements in Form AOC-4 and the annual return in Form MGT-7, file its income tax return, and keep statutory registers. Other filings such as DPT-3 and MSME-1 apply in specific cases.

Guide

Annual Compliance for Private Limited Company: what you should know

The yearly cycle

A Private Limited company holds board meetings in each half of the year, holds an annual general meeting within six months of the financial year end, files AOC-4 for financial statements and MGT-7 or MGT-7A for the annual return, and files the income tax return. Other filings include DIR-3 KYC for directors and DPT-3 and MSME-1 where applicable.

Costs of non-compliance

ROC filings attract additional fees for each day of delay, and prolonged default can lead to strike-off or director disqualification. Directors of defaulting companies can be barred from serving on boards for years.

How we manage it

We keep a compliance calendar, prepare board and AGM papers and minutes, file the forms and send you acknowledgements. You get reminders for each date.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Not holding the AGM on time
  • Skipping DIR-3 KYC
  • Filing AOC-4 late
  • Not maintaining statutory registers
