The company annual filing that keeps directors qualified and the company on the register.
Every company must file its financial statements in AOC-4 and its annual return in MGT-7 (or MGT-7A for small companies and OPCs) each financial year, whether or not it traded.
These two filings are what keep the company in good standing. They are also the filings whose absence triggers the harshest consequence in Indian company law: a director of a company that has not filed financial statements or annual returns for three consecutive years is disqualified for five years, across every company they are on the board of, not merely the defaulting one.
The filing is preceded by real work — finalising accounts, the auditor's report, board approval, the AGM, and the director's report — which is why it cannot sensibly be left to the last week.

Late filing carries an additional fee of ₹100 per day per form with no upper limit. There is no cap, so the exposure grows without bound — a year's delay on both forms is roughly ₹73,000.
Three consecutive years of non-filing disqualifies every director for five years and can lead the Registrar to strike the company off the register. Restoring a struck-off company requires a tribunal application and costs a multiple of the filing fee avoided.
The cycle repeats every year, and is joined by DIR-3 KYC for each director, ADT-1 where the auditor changes, and event-based filings whenever the board, capital or registered office changes.
We seed the whole year of dates into your compliance calendar the moment we take on the entity.
Yes. AOC-4 and MGT-7 are due every year regardless of activity, and the ₹100 per day fee applies to a nil filing exactly as it does to any other.
AOC-4 within thirty days of the AGM and MGT-7 within sixty days of it, with the AGM itself due within six months of the financial year end. We put your specific dates in your calendar.
Yes. Unlike several other late fees there is no ceiling, which is what makes prolonged non-filing so expensive. It is charged per form, so both forms accrue simultaneously.
A director of a company that has not filed for three consecutive years is disqualified for five years across all companies. It can be challenged or addressed through specific schemes, but prevention is dramatically cheaper than the cure.
Yes, unless the company is an OPC. The meeting can be brief, but it must be held and minuted, and the annual return records it.
No. Filing obligations continue until the company is formally struck off or wound up. Abandoning it disqualifies the directors. A voluntary strike-off is the clean exit.
The two annual LLP filings — light compliance, but the ₹100 per day penalty is identical and uncapped.

Appointment or resignation of a director, with the board resolutions and DIR-12 filing.
Move the registered office within a city, between cities, or between states.
Raise the authorised capital ceiling so the company can issue more shares.
