A One Person Company (OPC) has specific annual filing requirements under the Companies Act, 2013. Unlike other companies, OPCs are exempt from holding an Annual General Meeting (AGM). They must file their financial statements (AOC-4) within 180 days of the financial year's end and their annual return (MGT-7A) within 60 days after six months from the financial year's end. Failure to meet these deadlines incurs a penalty of INR 100 per day.
