Stay Compliant with MCA — File Your Annual Returns Before the Deadline
Every One Person Company, Private Limited Company, Public Limited Company and Other Companies registered under the Companies Act, 2013 must file two mandatory annual returns with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) each year: AOC-4 (Financial Statements) and MGT-7/MGT-7A (Annual Return). These are MANDATORY— non-filing makes the company a "defaulting company" in MCA records, attracts late fees of ₹100 per day per form (with no maximum cap), and can eventually lead to strike-off proceedings under Section 248 of the Companies Act.
AOC-4 (e-form for filing financial statements) must be filed within 30 days of the Annual General Meeting (AGM), which itself must be held within 6 months of the end of the financial year — so AOC-4 is typically due by 29th October (or 30th November for the first AGM of a new company). MGT-7 (Annual Return for all companies) / MGT-7A (simplified annual return for OPCs and small companies) must be filed within 60 days of the AGM — typically by 28th November.
VITTAX manages your complete company annual filing: preparation of financial statements in the prescribed format, drafting board resolutions for adoption at the AGM, preparing MGT-7/7A with complete shareholding structure and director details, and filing both forms on the MCA portal before the deadline with practicing Chartered Accountant signature also, if required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the late fee for delayed AOC-4 or MGT-7 filing?
Late filing fee is ₹100 per day per form, with no maximum cap. If AOC-4 and MGT-7 are both filed 100 days late, the total late fee is ₹20,000 (₹100 × 100 days × 2 forms). For multiple years of default, the cumulative late fees can be very significant. VITTAX ensures timely filing to avoid these penalties.
Is an auditor's report required for AOC-4 filing?
Yes. AOC-4 requires attachment of the Audited Financial Statements signed by the Statutory Auditor. VITTAX co-ordinates with your auditor to ensure the financials are ready and signed before the AOC-4 filing deadline.
Can I file AOC-4 and MGT-7 even if I missed the deadline?
Yes — you can file late with the applicable late fee. VITTAX calculates the exact late fee and guides you through the belated filing process. If you have accumulated multiple years of defaults, VITTAX can also assist with the CFSS (Condonation of Delay Scheme) when available.
What is the consequence of not filing annual returns for multiple years?
A company with 3 or more consecutive years of default in annual filing can be struck off by the ROC under Section 248. The directors of a struck-off company are also disqualified under Section 164(2) from being directors of any company for 5 years — a significant personal consequence.
