Validity: Annual compliance cycle (April to October each year)Handled by verified compliance experts. 100% online process.

What is Pvt Ltd Annual Compliance?

End-to-end annual compliance for your Private Limited Company — statutory audit, board meeting minutes, AGM documentation, ROC filings (AOC-4, MGT-7), Director KYC, and income tax return.

The Companies Act 2013 mandates four board meetings per year (with at most a 120-day gap between consecutive meetings), an AGM within 6 months of the financial year end, and filing of at least MGT-7 (Annual Return) and AOC-4 (Financial Statements) with the ROC. Statutory audit by a Chartered Accountant is mandatory every year, regardless of turnover.

Who Needs Pvt Ltd Annual Compliance?

Every Private Limited Company registered in India must comply — whether active or dormant. Companies that have not commenced business need to file the Commencement of Business (INC-20A) certificate and still need to file annual returns.

What's Included

  • 4 board meetings per year (minutes drafted)
  • AGM notice and documentation
  • AOC-4 — Financial Statements filing with ROC
  • MGT-7 — Annual Return filing with ROC
  • DIR-3 KYC for all directors (due 30 Sep)
  • Company ITR-6 filing
  • Statutory audit coordination

⚠️ Penalty for Non-Compliance

Late filing of AOC-4 and MGT-7 attracts ₹100 per day per form. Directors of a company that fails to file for two consecutive financial years are disqualified from holding directorship in any company for 5 years. Missing AGM attracts a penalty of up to ₹1 lakh on the company and ₹5,000 per day of default on officers.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Statutory Audit Coordination

    We work with your CA to prepare audited financial statements — P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement — for the financial year ending 31 March.

  2. 2

    Board Meetings and AGM

    We draft board meeting minutes (4 per year), AGM notice, and ordinary/special resolutions required for approving accounts.

  3. 3

    AOC-4 Filing (Financial Statements)

    Audited financials are filed with the ROC within 30 days of the AGM (typically by 29 October for companies with March year-end).

  4. 4

    MGT-7 Filing (Annual Return)

    Annual Return with shareholder, director, and registered office details is filed within 60 days of the AGM.

  5. 5

    Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC)

    Annual DIR-3 KYC for every director is filed by 30 September each year. Missing this deactivates the DIN.

    Company ITR (Form ITR-6) is filed by 31 October each year along with the Tax Audit Report (Form 3CA-3CD) if applicable.
