Annual Compliance Package

The "Annual Compliance Package" bundles the recurring ROC filings that follow every Annual General Meeting (AGM). Core filings: Form AOC-4 (or AOC-4 XBRL, where applicable) for financial statements under Section 137, Companies Act 2013, due within 30 days of the AGM; Form MGT-7 (or MGT-7A for small companies/OPCs) for the annual return under Section 92, due within 60 days of the AGM; and Form ADT-1 for intimation of auditor appointment/re-appointment under Section 139(1), due within 15 days of the AGM. These filings presuppose the AGM itself is held within the Section 96 timeline — six months of financial year-end for ordinary years, nine months for the first AGM after incorporation. Delay attracts additional filing fees under Section 403 read with the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules 2014 (currently ₹100 per day of delay, uncapped, per form). Persistent default — failing to file financial statements or annual returns for three consecutive financial years — triggers automatic director disqualification under Section 164(2)(a) across every company where that person is a director, in addition to penal action under Sections 92(5) and 137(3).

An Annual Compliance Package bundles every recurring filing a company or LLP owes in a financial year into one managed engagement. For a company, that means the financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies in Form AOC-4 under Section 137 of the Companies Act 2013, the annual return in Form MGT-7 under Section 92, the annual return of deposits and the director KYC filings, alongside the direct tax work — income tax returns, tax audit where the turnover triggers Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act 1961, and TDS returns. For an LLP, it means the statement of accounts in Form 8 under Section 34 of the LLP Act 2008 and the annual return in Form 11 under Section 35.

What a package buys is a single owner of the calendar. Instead of the director chasing five different advisors for five different deadlines, one team prepares the books, runs the audits, files the returns and reports status in one place. It also buys sequencing: the financial statements must be audited before AOC-4 can be filed, and the MGT-7 depends on registers that depend on the accounts — a package keeps those dependencies in order.

The cost of missed annual filings is compounding. Late filing of AOC-4 and MGT-7 attracts additional fees under Section 403 of the Companies Act 2013 that rise with delay, and a company that skips years finds its DINs and the company itself flagged in MCA records — which banks, investors and even customers now check. On the tax side, a late ITR attracts interest under Section 234A and a fee under Section 234F, and a missed tax audit deadline brings its own penalty under Section 271B.

This service is for private companies, LLPs and their directors who want their year handled as a system rather than a scramble. We map every filing, prepare and audit the accounts, file AOC-4, MGT-7 and the annual tax returns, and give you a single compliance certificate at year-end.
