    Important FAQs on ROC MCA Compliance

    Q.1 What are the ROC compliances?

    Every registered company or LLP in India is required to file an annual ROC compliance report, which includes specific information on business practices, within the deadline specified by the Companies Act, 2013, and the Companies Rules. Companies and LLP must consistently submit their ROC paperwork to ROC in order to avoid penalties.

    Q.2 How can I file a ROC form?

    The paperwork must be downloaded from the MCA website by businesses and LLPs. They must fill it out, including the necessary documentation, and submit it through the MCA site.

    Q.3 Are the forms that must be submitted to ROC annually or monthly?

    Annual forms make up the ROC forms. The ROC does not need any paperwork to be submitted on a monthly basis. The documents that must be submitted to the ROC deal with the company’s or LLP’s financial data for a fiscal year.

    Q.4 Can we ask the ROC for more time to file our forms?

    Yes. By requesting an extension with the ROC where it is registered, a business or LLP may seek for a delay in the deadline for submitting a ROC form. The business or LLP must explain why it needs an extension to file a form. If the justification is acceptable, the ROC will grant an extension.

    Q.5 What is an MSME?

    A micro, small, and medium enterprise is an MSME. A micro-enterprise is defined as an organization with an annual turnover of less than Rs. 5 crore and an investment in plant, machinery, or equipment of less than Rs. 1 crore. A small business is defined as an organization with annual sales of less than Rs. 50 crore and an investment in plant, machinery, or equipment of less than Rs. 10 crore. A medium-sized business is one that has annual sales of no more than Rs. 250 crore and investment in plant, machinery, or equipment of no more than Rs. 50 crore.

    Q.6 – When should the AGM take place?

    All businesses—aside from One Person Companies (OPC)—must conduct their annual general meetings (AGM) within six months of the fiscal year’s conclusion. An AGM must be held before September 30 every year if the company’s fiscal year ends in March. A first annual general meeting, however, might be held by the firm fewer than nine months after the conclusion of the first fiscal year. A company’s two AGMs should be separated by no more than 15 months.

      is there any wavier in late fees for filling roc after 31.03.2021

    • MUZAMIL HASSAN

      I registered my company on 19/9/2023 ,when do I need to file ROC and why to appoint a CA when my companies annual turnover is not above or touching 10 lakh yet!

    • mk siavkumar

      Q1.the company was incorporated in January 2020. what is the due date of AOC-4 and MGT-7
      Q2. If incorporation date after January 2020. Then as per the Companies act 2013, the financial year started 2020-2021 so may I ignore 2019-2020 IT filling (do the same rule applies in the IT act?)

    • SHIVANI SETH

      i have filed aoc-4 on 28 Dec. it is still showing pending for approval even after a week. what should i do?

      • SAG Infotech

        Raise a ticket on mca regarding the issue.

    • Aayushi

      I am doing an audit of a company whose financial year ends on 31st December 2020. What was the due date to file AOC-4 and MGT-7, for financials of FY2019, for such company whose financial year ended in Dec 2020? Was there any extension for the same?

      • PURNA

        FY must be aligned to Apr-March as per amendment in 2(41) of companies act.

        For FY ending on 31st Dec 2019, agm should be conducted on or before 30th June 2020. Accordingly aoc4 & Mgt7 must have been before 30th July 2020 and 29th Aug 2020 respectively. If not filed, additional fees of rs.100 per day would be attracted for both aoc4 & Mgt7. Adt1 for auditor appointment, if any, must have been filed before 15th July 2020. Additional fees for adt1 depends on the basis of no. of days of delay. Hurry up!!! File at least now along with late fees.

        For FY ending on 31st Dec 2020, agm due date is 30th June 2021. Always remember, agm must be conducted within 6mths from end of FY. ADT1/AOC4/MGT7 is to be filed within 15/30/60 days respectively after the conclusion of agm. While determining date for agm, ignore public holiday/sundays/national holiday. There must be clear notice of 21days for agm. So, better to sign audit report & financials in first week of June and make the directors sign dir report & financials on same date. Prepare agm notice on the same date of signing financials. Don’t forget to generate udin on same day.

        Hope it helps you for filing annual returns.

    • Rakesh Kasba

      I took 1 year package for company registration and all compliances from India filing in 2019. My company was registered on 27-Nov-2019.
      They charged some additional CA fees of 4500+GST also. I also signed and sent all documents.
      Still they are not filing ROC compliances.

Sorry If this takes more time of you. I just want to know..

      Do I need to fill ROC return? What will be my due date to fill all ROC and other relevant forms.

      • SAG Infotech

        Yes, the company has to comply with all the compliance whether there is any business or not. Here, in this case, the first financial year has ended on 31st March 2019 so for the first financial year, Annual General Meeting (AGM) shall be held within nine months from the end of the financial year thereafter within six months.

        The annual filing forms like E-form AOC-4 for Balance sheet and P&L statement and E-form MGT-7 for Annual return shall be filed within 30 days and 60 days respectively from the date of Annual General Meeting (AGM).

As we know in case of OPC no AGM is required to hold so the above forms shall be filed within the said time limit from the date of entry of approval of financial statements in the minute’s book of the OPC.

        The last date to file ITR with the IT department is 30th September of the assessment year.

        • Stuti

      • SAHIL AMIN

        I registered my company with a capital of 1 lakh rupees. MCA website says no formal audit is required below capital of Rs 25 Lakhs. Then why AOC-4 requires CA’s sign to submit? But CA’s is optional in MGT-7, which is fair.

        • SAG Infotech

          If a company is a small company as per section 2(85) of Companies Act 2013 then no need to attach Digital Signature of Professional in E-form AOC-4 and MGT-7. If your company falls under the above definition, even though form requiring DSC of professional then please confirm this issue with MCA helpdesk.

    • RAMESH

      Can we revise AOC 4?

      • SAG Infotech

        If the financial statement or board report do not comply with the provision of section 129 or 134, then after getting the approval of tribunal form AOC-4 can be revised.

      • CS Tinku Kumar Gupta

        Plz check the status of the director. If the director is not disqualified then you can file. I think Directors of that company will be disqualified.

      Hello team, I have registered my LLP in May-2017, but neither I opened any bank account nor did any business, so now still I have to file its ROC annual returns for FY 17-18, if yes, what is the procedure to file it by own? Please help.

      • SAG Infotech

        Yes, it is mandatory to file ROC return. Form 11 has to be filed within 60 days from the end of the FY. Form 8 has to be filed after 6 months from the end of FY within 30 days i.e. by 30th October.

        In your case, the first financial year will end on 31/03/2019 refer to section 2(41) of the companies act 2013. First Auditor should be appointed within 30 days from the date of incorporation of the company by the board through the board resolution. The incorporation date is deemed to be the date of commencement of business under companies act 2013. Paid capital need to be deposit in the company’s Account with the bank.

        To close a private company there is an option of strike off of the name. Please consult with a PCS for the same.

      If there is no transaction of sales/purchase ROC forms can be submitted directly by the director online?

      Or CA can complete the ROC formalities?

      Thanks

      • SAG Infotech

        Under the CODS scheme 2018, there is no as such restriction on filing forms with MCA. But the Annual financial and return forms should be duly completed and authenticated by the director and professional (if required).

    • Megha

      Hi, If a private limited company is registered in Jan 2017, will it need to file AOC-4, MGT-7 in the current financial year or is there any time limit to file these forms? Is there any option to file it later then mention under what section it is given?

      • SAG Infotech

        Refer section 2(41), the definition of a financial year, If a company incorporated on or after the 1st day of January of a year, the financial year would be the period which is ending on the 31st day of March of the following year. So in this case Company’s financial would be 2017-2018 and you need to file annual forms after the end of such period. E-form AOC-4 and MGT-7 need to be filed within 30/60 day from the date of AGM and in case of the newly incorporated company, it can hold its first AGM within Nine months from the end of financial year.

    • Hetal Varsani

      Hello Madam, What is the last date for filing AOC 4 for OPC? Is it 29th September or revised date 28th November? As I am getting a penalty of 400*7=2800.

      Please reply…

    • Tongbram

      Hi Urvashi,

      My Pvt. Limited company (OPC) was registered/incorporated on 4th August 2017. The company which I had used for registration didn’t tell me on the phone that I have to file for AOC-4 and MGT-7 but when I visit their office they said I have to file these two. They’re asking for Rs. 13,800.

      My question is, my company is just 2 months and 6 days old, do I have to file for AOC-4 and MGT-7?

      • SAG Infotech

        As these forms relate to financials of the company, and as such your company has been registered in current F.Y. , so you need to file these forms only after 31/03/2018.

      • imhd

        yes you have to file AOC-4 & MGT-7.

      • Dhruv Jain

        The company was incorporated in the FY 2017-18. Filing of AOC-4 and MGT-7 is being done for the FY2016-17. So you cannot file either AOC-4 or MGT-7.

      • ashish

        Hi,

        First of all, You do not need to file AOC-4 and MGT-7 for Financial Year 2016-17 because your company incorporated in Financial Year 2017-18 so you need to file Aoc-4, MGT-7 and other documents related for annual filing for the financial year 2017-18.

      • CHETAN MARATHE

        No, you don’t need to file your annual return for the company, as your company is incorporated in August 2017 i.e. in F.Y. 2017-18 hence you need to file your AOC-4 and MGT-7 for the financial year 2017-18 in next year October 2018 itself.

      • rahul

        Yes, have to file forms (aoc-4, mgt-7, mgt-14 and adt-1 also)

    • Ashis

      I have a small size PVT LTD company, Turn over below 1L annually. What type of e-filling will I upload on an annual basis?

      • SAG Infotech

        You need to file AOC-4, MGT-7 and ADT-1 on annual basis.

    • ANIL HIMMATLAL PARMAR

      Respected Madam,

      Shall there be per day late filing penalty for the annual accounts filed after 270 days for 2014-15 and 2015-16? I have seen many chartered accounts/company secretaries certifying the AR/FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS IN BACK DATES but the same are filed belatedly. Does it have any impact on such CA/CS certifying the accounts/returns in a back date?

      • Devesho9

        Sir, I have registered a Private limited company on 22.1.2018.
        The company is still nonfunctional, no work done by the firm.
        Do I need to fill ROC return?
        Do I need to fill AOC for 2017-2018?
        What will be my due date to fill all ROC and other relevant forms.

        • SAG Infotech

          Yes, the company has to comply with all the compliance whether there is any business or not. Here, in this case, the first financial year has ended on 31 March 2019 so for the first financial year, Annual General Meeting (AGM) shall be held within nine months from the end of the financial year thereafter within six months.

          The annual filing forms like E-form AOC-4 for Balance sheet and P&L statement and E-form MGT-7 for Annual return shall be filed within 30 days and 60 days respectively from the date of Annual General Meeting (AGM).

          Appointment of Auditor also has to be done in the annual general meeting by filing E-form ADT-1 within 15 days from the date of AGM.

    • Himanshu Saxena

      Hi Urvashi,

      Thanks for the very informative article. My CA has delayed the ROC filling for FY 14-15 and I had to pay 12 times fee. Today I realised that the ROC filling for FY 15-16 was missed again by him, despite of repeated assurances from his side. I realised that I might end up paying the fine again.

      I do understand that there are very serious consequences for company directors, Is there any provision / regulatory / authority where we can make a complaint about the CA for all the losses caused because of his negligence? Despite of providing all documents timely, if the CA habitually delays the filling, the directors would always suffer, however is there any law, challenging the answer-ability of the CA?

      • ANAND PANDEY

        YES, FILE COMPLAIN AGAINST HIM IN THE INSTITUTE CHAPTER IN THAT CITY. BUT YOU HAVE TO GIVE CONCRETE EVIDENCE FOR THAT.

      • Vijit

        It is the company that has to take care of the filing of the returns. have you followed up with the CA? if you have followed up with him for the filing of the return and still he hasn’t done the filing, then you can complain against him in the ICAI chapter of the city where he is practising.

    • S N DEORA

      Is due date for filing AOC 4 XBRL extended upto 30.10.2017 even if AGM is held on 28.07.2017. Normally it is to be filed within 30 days of AGM. I m not able to find any circular for extension?

      Thanks….

    • Kaushik Mitra

      we are a company registered in October 2012 but have not filed for ROC since our CA was incompetent to handle this though he kept delaying the returns . I want to know by when should the Company have filed for its first AGM & subsequent ROC filing. Also is there any other penalty other than the late fees that you have published in your blog ?

      Further for ROC filing we need a good CS/CA . Please advise urgently on mail .

      regards
      Kaushik

    • Malik

      can we file shareholder list for current year with AR for last financial year.

      • SAG Infotech

        For which Financial year you are filing Annual Return, list of shareholder showing in the register of member as on the last day of the same financial year should be attached with the MGT-7.

        ex. For Annual return of FY 2016-17, You need to attach the list of shareholder, showing in the register of company as on 31st March 2017.

    • Arun Sharma

      Thanks

      • SAG Infotech

        Yes, you can file the return for financial year 2014-15 in current date with late fee and if you have passed the resolution on the back date for appointment of director then you can file the E-form with prescribed late fee and if you haven’t passed the resolution for appointment then please take the advice from the practicing company secretary.

      • SAG Infotech

        No. Section 117(3) and 179(3) of the Companies Act, 2013 describes the resolution for which MGT-14 is to be filed. Please specify your case for clarification. (Small private companies are exempted from filing resolutions such as approving of board report, financial statements etc.)

    • P. V. V. RAGHAVAN

      A company has got a subsidiary whose accounts are being separately audited. Should it file report in XBRL separately for standalone and consolidated statements. What documents are required for Consolidated XBRL filing? What about the Directors’ Report & AOC-4? Should AOC-1 be filed?

      Kindly revert by tomorrow.

      • SAG Infotech

        AOC-4 XBRl is filed in case of XBRl filing. If the listed company is having any subsidiary then it is mandatory to file consolidated XBRL filing. The standalone and consolidated XML documents will be filed in AOC-4 XBRl of holding company in one form. In case of consolidation, there is no need of reporting of Board’s Report, CSR reporting, Secretarial Audit Report and you need to give the details of subsidiary as per the XBRL taxonomy reporting

    • Anchal

      Hello Ma’am,
      Can u tell me what are the penalties if a company has not done it’s ROC filing for last 4 years.
      And what is the procedure to be followed now???

      • SAG Infotech

        In your case, you need to file 23 AC and ACA for filing financial statements and 20B for filing annual return for financial years commencing before 01.04.2014. Post 01.04.2014 i.e. from financial year 2014-2015 you need to file AOC-4 for filing financial statements and MGT-7 for filing annual return.

        Discussing about the fine/penalty it will be 12 times of the original fees of the form. Compounding is covered under Section 403 and 441 of the Companies Act, 2013. The Annual filing forms are STP mode forms i.e. they get approved automatically once they are uploaded. Hence, considering the provisions of Section 403 and 441 one can opine that for non filing of MGT-7/ AOC-4 within 300 days from the date of Annual General Meeting, Company can go for compounding to save itself from the future prosecutions and penalties

    • Alisha

      When is ADT-1 is to be filed for the appointment of auditor for the FY 2015-16.

        As per General Circular No. 08/2016 available on MCA portal(http://www.mca.gov.in/Ministry/pdf/GeneralCircular08_30082016.pdf), the last date for filing of MGT-7 is 29th October, 2016 if the AGM is held on or after 1st April, 2016. But if we will consider the provisions of filing annual return i.e. 60 days from the date of AGM as mentioned in the article also, the last date for a company whose AGM is held on 30th September, 2016 the last date will be 29th November, 2016.
