From ROC point of view there is nothing much to be done in FY 2011-12. Also appreciate the following:

 

 

First you have to decide what is your financial year—Your first financial year would be from 15.03.2012 to 31.03.2013 i.e. a period of 12 months and 17 days.

 

As per my understanding you don’t have to file Annual Accounts in the year 2012. Your Annual Filing due in 2013. No need to hold AGM in 2012 at all. However you may do so.

 

 Applicability of Section-166 read with section-210 suggest in your case

 

As per Section-166 last date for holding your AGM would be September 14, 2013 i.e. 18 months from the date of incorporation of the company.

 

As per section-210 Balance Sheet & Profit and Loss A/c shall lay before the members in case of first AGM with in 9 months from the end of financial year i.e. last date for holding your AGM as per section-210 would be December 31, 2013.

 

Conclusion as per the rule of Harmonious construction

 

As per my opinion your first financial year is ending on March 31, 2013 and as per section-210 you may hold your first AGM up to December 31, 2013. But here if you follow section-210 blindly without application of section-166 then there would be violation of section-166 regarding First AGM in 18 months provision.

 

Final Answer—In your case last date for holding first AGM would be September 14, 2013 which is in line with the provisions of both the sections.

Hi,

 

There is an express approval in Company law to have a financial year of more than 12 months.

Kindly refer section 210(4).

 

Regards

Dear Mr. Aditya Agarwal,
 
 
" As per Section 210(4) in The Companies Act, 1956 The period to which the account aforesaid relates is referred to in this Act as a" financial year"; and it may be less or more than a calendar year, but it shall not exceed fifteen months: Provided that it may extend to eighteen months where special permission has been granted in that behalf by the Registrar "
 

Hi,

What about Income Tax Return for such a Company? Will ITR-6 not be required for financial year 11-12 i.e. AY 12-13? Does Income Tax Act also accept the fact that a financial year can exceed 12 months just like the Companies Act?

As far as Income Tax Act goes, Section 3 of the Act tells that previous year starts from the date of setting up a business. Date of setting up of business and the date of its commencement could be two separate dates. So any assessee has to to file IT returns for any year once its business is set up.
