Annual ROC package for Pvt Ltd

AOC-4: financial statements attachment within 30 days of AGM.

MGT-7: annual return with shareholding pattern.

ADT-1: auditor appointment tracking.

DIR-3 KYC: each director annually (DIN active).

Missing these → ₹100–₹500 per day penalties and director disqualification risk.

AGM timeline

First AGM within 18 months of incorporation, then every year within 6 months of financial year end.

Most startups use 31 March FY — AGM by 30 September, filings soon after.

Board approves accounts before AGM; auditor signs financials.

What founders should track

Cap table in MGT-7 must match SHA and PAS records — critical for fundraising.

  • Share allotments during year → PAS-3 filed?
  • Director changes → DIR-12.
  • Charge creation on assets → CHG-1.
  • Registered office change → INC-22.

LLP note

LLPs file Form 8 (statement of accounts) and Form 11 (annual return) — different forms, same discipline.
