Company Annual Return Filing is the process of submitting a company’s financial statements and yearly compliance details to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs through the MCA portal. It includes filing Form AOC-4 and Form MGT-7 or MGT-7A with accurate information about the company’s finances, shareholding, meetings, directors, and statutory updates. Filing ensures that the company remains legally active and fully compliant with the annual requirements of the Companies Act.
Every company registered under the Companies Act must file ROC annual returns, regardless of turnover, activity, or profit. This includes private limited companies, OPCs, public companies, small companies, and inactive companies that have not carried out any business during the financial year. Even companies with zero transactions must complete annual return filing to maintain their active legal status with the ROC.
Companies must file their annual returns after completing their Annual General Meeting. Form AOC-4 must be filed within 30 days from the date of the AGM, and Form MGT-7 or MGT-7A must be filed within 60 days from the date of the AGM. Companies that do not hold an AGM must still file their annual returns within the prescribed timeline as per MCA guidelines.
Form AOC-4: This form is used to file the company’s audited financial statements, board report, and auditor report with the Registrar of Companies.
Form MGT-7 or MGT-7A: This form is filed to submit the company’s annual return, which includes details of shareholding, directors, meetings, and statutory updates for the financial year.
Form ADT-1: This form is used to report the appointment or reappointment of the statutory auditor for the upcoming financial year after approval in the AGM.
