FAQ :
An annual return filing for a Pvt Ltd company is a yearly process where businesses submit financial details, shareholder information, and compliance reports to the government to ensure transparency and legal adherence.
To file an annual return, a Pvt Ltd company needs a Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Statement, Audit Report (if applicable), details of Shareholders & Directors, and Board Meeting Resolutions.
Form MGT-7 (Annual Return) is due within 60 days from the AGM, and Form AOC-4 (Financial Statements) is due within 30 days from the AGM. The AGM itself must be held within six months of the financial year end.
Penalties include a late fee of ₹100 per day, personal fines for directors up to ₹5 lakh with potential disqualification, and company fines starting at ₹50,000, which can increase with the delay.
Timely filing helps avoid heavy penalties, maintains legal compliance, enhances business credibility with stakeholders, and ensures smooth and active business operations.
