Mandatory Filing

Annual Filings of Company

Your trusted partner for corporate compliance — ensuring accurate filing of AOC-4 and MGT-7 with MCA to maintain your company's active status.

Overview

Every Private Limited Company, Public Limited Company, and One Person Company (OPC) incorporated in India is mandatory required to file annual returns and financial statements with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) every financial year. This compliance ensures transparency and keeps the MCA database updated with the company's latest financial and management status.

The two primary forms are Form AOC-4 (for Financial Statements) and Form MGT-7 (for Annual Return). These must be filed after the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Delay in filing attracts a penalty of ₹100 per day per form and can lead to the disqualification of directors and the strike-off of the company. Bizmint handles the end-to-end process — from drafting resolutions and director reports to professional certification and final MCA submission.
