Definition

What is Company Annual Filing?

Company Annual Filing is the yearly compliance requirement for every registered company in India. Under the Companies Act, 2013, every company — public or private — must file its financial statements and annual return with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) through the MCA portal.

The annual filing comprises two primary e-Forms:

Form AOC-4 — for filing the company's financial statements (Balance Sheet, P&L, Auditors' Report, Directors' Report)
Form MGT-7 — for filing the company's annual return (shareholding structure, directors, changes during the year)

Additionally, companies may need to file other forms depending on their specific situation — such as ADT-1 for auditor appointment, DIR-12 for director changes, and INC-22 for registered office changes. The entire annual filing process is mandatory and time-bound — missing deadlines triggers penalties that compound daily.

Important

Penalty for Non-Filing or Late Filing

The company will be treated as a defaulting company — with penalties compounding daily.

Company Treated as Defaulter

The company will be considered a defaulting company and liable to pay the penalty under the Companies Act, 2013.

Penalty Based on Days of Default

The amount of penalty depends on the number of days in default — the longer the delay, the higher the penalty.

Director Liability

Directors of the defaulting company are personally liable and can face disqualification under Section 164.

Compounding Penalties

The penalty keeps increasing every day until the filing is completed — early filing saves significant cost.

Due Dates

Annual Filing Due Dates

Key deadlines every company must meet.

Filing	Form	Due Date
Financial Statements	AOC-4	30 days from AGM
Annual Return	MGT-7	60 days from AGM
Auditor Appointment	ADT-1	Within 15 days of AGM
Director Changes	DIR-12	Within 30 days of change
Income Tax Return	ITR-6	31st October

Reminder: AOC-4 and MGT-7 are the two main annual filing forms. AOC-4 covers financial statements, while MGT-7 covers the annual return. Both must be filed within the specified timelines after the AGM.

Pitfalls

Common Mistakes with Company Annual Filing

Missing the AOC-4 deadline: AOC-4 must be filed within 30 days of the AGM. Missing it attracts daily penalties that compound quickly.

Missing the MGT-7 deadline: MGT-7 must be filed within 60 days of the AGM. Directors become personally liable for defaults.

Filing without audited financials: Financial statements must be audited and signed by a Chartered Accountant before filing. Unaudited filings are rejected.

Not holding the AGM on time: The AGM must be held within the prescribed timeline. Without an AGM, the AOC-4 and MGT-7 deadlines don't start — but the company becomes non-compliant.

Missing Director signatures: Annual filing documents must be signed by the Directors. Missing signatures cause rejection and re-filing.

Ignoring director changes during the year: Any changes in Directorship during the year must be reflected in the annual filing — including appointments, resignations, and changes in designation.
