22 July 2025 Got it, you want to know about ROC filing for foreign companies in India. Here's a quick rundown:

ROC Annual Filing Requirements for Foreign Companies (Liaison / Branch Offices):
Form FC-4

This is the Annual Return for foreign companies with a place of business in India.

It contains details like principal business activities, branches, and other particulars.

Financial Statements

The foreign company must file financial statements (audited) of its Indian operations.

These are usually filed along with Form FC-4.

Due Dates:
Form FC-4 and financial statements must be filed within 6 months from the end of the financial year (which is generally March 31).

So typically, by September 30 every year.

Key Points:
Foreign companies are not required to file Form 23AC/23ACA or Form 20B (which are for Indian companies).

They file Form FC-4 annually with ROC.

Summary of Steps for Foreign Company ROC filing:
Register/Login on MCA Portal

Download Form FC-4

Prepare audited financials of Indian operations

Fill FC-4 with required details + upload financial statements

Submit with prescribed fees before due date
