Annual return filing is the process where a Pvt. Ltd company submits information about its financial and operational performance for the year to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).

You will need the company's PAN and TAN, audited financial statements, board resolutions, director and shareholder details, and a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) of the signatories.
