FAQ :

Filing e-forms with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) is a mandatory requirement for companies to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

The two main types of e-forms are Non-Event-based Forms, which are mandatory annual filings, and Event-based Forms, which are required only when a specific event occurs.

Examples of non-event-based forms include AOC 4 and MGT 7 for annual filings, DIR 3KYC for director KYC, and INC 20A for commencement of business.

Event-based forms are mandatory to file only when a specific event, as defined by the Companies Act and prescribed rules, has occurred within the company. Examples include auditor changes, director appointments, or capital alterations.

AOC 4 (XBRL) filing is mandatory for listed companies. For non-listed companies, it is mandatory if their turnover exceeds 100 crores or paid-up share capital is more than 5 crores.
