About Annual ROC Filling

Every Private Limited Company, Limited Company, Section 8 Company and One Person Company (OPC) registered under the Companies Act, 2013/1956, is legally required to file annual returns and maintain statutory compliance with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). This process is known as Annual Filing and includes the submission of financial and shareholder-related information to the Registrar of Companies (ROC). Whether your company is operational, dormant, or has zero turnover, filing annual returns with ROC is compulsory. It not only ensures legal compliance but also protects the company and its directors from heavy penalties and disqualification.

In addition to ROC filings, Private Limited Company, Limited Company, Section 8 Company must also hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) to approve financial statements and make important corporate decisions. Even companies with no income or operations must comply annually to avoid penalties.

An AGM is a yearly meeting of shareholders where the company formally adopts its financials, approves board reports, and appoints or reappoints auditors. It is mandatory for all Private Limited Companies, while OPCs are exempt from holding AGMs.

📌 What is Annual Filing?

Annual filing involves submitting the company’s audited financials, shareholding structure, and director information to the ROC using prescribed forms. These filings ensure transparency and compliance with Indian corporate laws.

📂 🧾 What Does Annual Filing Include?

  1. Balance Sheet & Profit & Loss Account – through Form AOC-4
  2. Details of Shareholders & Directors – through Form MGT-7 / MGT-7A
  3. Auditor Appointment/ reappointment– via Form ADT-1 (if applicable)
  4. Board Resolutions & Statutory Registers – internal company records

 

🛡️ Why Is Annual Filing So Crucial?

  • Avoid Legal Penalties: Delayed filings attract ₹100 per day per form without a cap.
  • Prevent Director Disqualification: Non-filing can disqualify directors for up to 5 years.
  • Maintain Active Company Status: Non-compliance can lead to strike-off by ROC.
  • Support Fundraising & Tendering: Updated filings build trust with banks, investors, and government departments.
  • Required for Winding Up or Conversion: A company must be up to date with filings to be eligible for closure or structural change.

💡 Annual Filing is NOT Tax Filing

Many new business owners confuse ROC filing with Income Tax Return (ITR) filing. Both are separate and independently mandatory. Annual filing deals with company law compliance, while ITRs are submitted to the Income Tax Department.
