Do not submit AOC-4 with comparative figures altered merely to pass validation. For FY 2024–25, the comparative figures should ordinarily relate to FY 2023–24; figures for FY 2022–23 appearing instead suggest the form’s financial-period mapping or prefill may be wrong. The “invalid financial year” message may also indicate that the selected period or AOC-4 form variant does not match the company’s approved financial statements.

Recheck the company’s financial-year start and end dates, AGM/extension details, and the period selected in the form; confirm that the financial statements are for the same period.
Download a fresh AOC-4 from MCA and retry after clearing the old draft, using the latest available form utility. Check whether the correct comparative figures appear before signing.
If the error persists, raise a fresh MCA service request with the SRN, CIN, exact error text, form version, and screenshots showing the selected period and prefilled figures. Retain the ticket and avoid filing with incorrect comparatives; escalate through the MCA grievance channel if the technical issue remains unresolved.
