MGT-7 due date: 60 days after your AGM.
MGT-7 is due 60 days after your AGM, the yearly shareholders' meeting, so 28 November 2026 for most companies. Miss it, and the late fee is ₹100 a day, with no upper limit. MGT-7 is the company's yearly return, filed with the Registrar of Companies, the ROC. It lists your shareholders, directors, share capital, and any change made in the year. MGT-7A is the same return in shorter form, for a One Person Company and a small company.

28 November 2026
60 days after the AGM, for the year ended 31 March 2026
An example of how it goes.
MGT-7, in plain words.
- What it is.
- MGT-7 is the company's yearly return. It records your shareholders, your directors, the share capital, and any change made in the year.
- Who files it.
- Every company files MGT-7 every year, trading or not. A One Person Company always uses MGT-7A, the shorter version. A small company, with paid-up capital up to ₹4 crore and turnover up to ₹40 crore, can use MGT-7A too.
- The date, and how it is counted.
- MGT-7 is due 60 days after your AGM. If your AGM was on 30 September 2026, the date is 28 November 2026. A One Person Company counts the 60 days from the date its AGM would have been due.
- The government fee and the late fee.
- The government fee is small and depends on your share capital, from ₹200 to ₹600. File late, and a separate late fee of ₹100 a day runs on top of it, with no upper limit.
- What happens if you miss it.
- On top of the late fee, the company faces a penalty of ₹10,000 plus ₹100 a day, up to ₹2 lakh. Each officer in default faces ₹10,000 plus ₹100 a day, up to ₹50,000. Miss the yearly accounts or the yearly return for 3 years in a row, and the directors are barred from any company for 5 years.
- How it is filed and who signs.
- The form goes in on the MCA portal, run by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. A director signs it with a digital signature. A listed company needs a practising company secretary to certify it too. So does a company with paid-up capital of ₹10 crore or more, or turnover of ₹50 crore or more.
What we do for you.
- We prepare MGT-7 from your closed books.
- Once your yearly accounts are ready, we pull the shareholder list, the director details, and the year's changes into the return.
- We tell you which form applies.
- MGT-7 or MGT-7A, decided from your company type and your numbers. You do not have to work it out.
- We track the date from your AGM.
- The 60 days start on your AGM date, not a fixed day on the calendar. We put it on your calendar the day your AGM is held.
- You approve. We file.
- You approve the return with your digital signature. We file it on the MCA portal and send you the receipt the same day.
- We take it any way you send it.
- Send the shareholder list and any changes any way you like: WhatsApp, email, a Drive folder. We take it from there.
Your side of it.
Small things, sent any way you like. We do the rest.
- This year's shareholder list
- Any change in directors or share capital during the year
- Approval with your digital signature
Filed within 60 days of your AGM, every year, so the ₹100 a day fee never starts.
What people ask about the MGT-7 due date.
Is the date extended this year?
The law's date is 28 November 2026, and that is the date to plan for. The government has moved the AOC-4 and MGT-7 dates before, usually in November and only after the original date had passed. We tell you the same day if it changes.
MGT-7 or MGT-7A, which one is mine?
MGT-7A if you are a One Person Company, or a small company with paid-up capital up to ₹4 crore and turnover up to ₹40 crore. Every other company files the full MGT-7.
We had no business this year. Do we still file?
Yes. MGT-7 is due every year, whether your company traded or not. It still has to show its shareholders, directors, and share capital as they stand.
Our AGM was late. Does the date move?
Yes. The 60 days count from the date your AGM was held, not from 30 September. File it as soon as your AGM is done, since the days are already running.
What is the difference between AOC-4 and MGT-7?
AOC-4 files the yearly accounts, due within 30 days of the AGM. MGT-7 files the yearly return, due within 60 days of the AGM. Both carry the same ₹100 a day late fee.
We are already past the date. What now?
File as soon as you can. The late fee runs at ₹100 a day from 29 November 2026, with no upper limit. Three months late costs about ₹9,000 in late fee alone, before any penalty. Filing now stops the fee from growing.
