ROC annual filings for companies and LLPs
Annual returns, financial statements and event-based filings with the Registrar of Companies.
About ROC annual filings for companies and LLPs
Every company and LLP must file yearly documents with the Registrar of Companies, even if it earned nothing. A company files its financial statements (AOC-4) within 30 days of the annual general meeting and its annual return (MGT-7 or MGT-7A) within 60 days. An AGM must be held by 30 September for a year ending 31 March. The auditor appointment (ADT-1), director KYC (DIR-3 KYC) and, where relevant, the return of deposits (DPT-3) and MSME-1 are also due. An LLP files Form 11 by 30 May and Form 8 by 30 October.
Delay brings an additional fee for each day, and continued default can lead to disqualification of directors and striking off of the company. Event-based filings are also needed when directors change, the registered office moves, shares are allotted, capital is increased, or a charge is created.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if I do not file?

Do dormant companies need to file?
Yes, unless they have applied for dormant status or strike-off. Filing may be simpler, but it is still required.
