Annual Return of Dormant Company

We had obtained dormant status of a Private Limited Company during the previous year 2019-20, and as the company was dormant as on 31/03/2020, we prepared and submitted Form MSC-3 during April 2020, as prescribed under Companies Act, 2013.

During July-August 20, we again changed status of the company to Active Company, my query is "Whether we need to file AOC4 & MGT 7 for the period ended on 31/03/2020, as master data of the company is showing balance sheet filed up to 31/03/2019". We raised a ticket on MCA Portal but they didn't had any satisfactory answer and said "Consult a professional".

Relevant Act do not impose any obligation but I want to be sure to avoid any future penalty.

Thanking you in anticipation.
