Practical answers curated by our CA and CS desks for ANNUAL FILING.
Annual filing refers to submitting key documents such as audited financial statements, annual returns and other compliance forms with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and Registrar of Companies (RoC) each year.
Every company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013—whether private, public or small company—must complete annual filing, even if there were no business transactions.
It ensures legal compliance, keeps the company’s status active, builds credibility with stakeholders, and avoids penalties or disqualification of directors.
Non-filing can lead to heavy fees, director disqualification, the company being marked inactive or even struck off the register by the RoC.
Key forms include Form AOC-4 (financial statements), Form MGT-7/MGT-7A (annual return), Form DIR-3 KYC, and Form ADT-1 (auditor appointment) among others.
For example: financial statements (AOC-4) must be filed within ~30 days of the Annual General Meeting (AGM); annual return (MGT-7) within ~60 days of the AGM.
Required documents include audited financial statements, board’s report, director’s report, shareholding details, member/board meeting minutes, and approvals.
