ROC filings for companies and LLPs
If you are a Private Limited company, an LLP or a One Person Company, you owe filings to the Registrar of Companies every year whether or not you traded. We track them and file them. This matters more than most owners realise, because the MCA additional fee is ₹100 per day per form and it has no upper limit. GST and TDS late fees both cap. This one does not.
What we do
What this covers, every month.
Annual accounts and the annual return. AOC-4 and MGT-7 for companies, Form 8 and Form 11 for LLPs. Every year, whether or not you traded.
Director KYC. DIR-3 KYC for every director, every year. Miss it and the DIN is deactivated until a fee is paid.
The first-year forms. Auditor appointment and the declaration of commencement of business. Both have tight windows from the date you incorporated, and both catch first-time founders.
Changes during the year. A new director, a change of address, a change in capital. Each has its own form and its own window.
Board and general meeting records. The minutes and resolutions the law expects you to keep, kept.
What we need from you
Your side of it.
- Your digital signature, which you buy once and which stays yours
- Director details and any changes during the year
- Approval before each form is filed
Two forms filed a year late is about ₹73,000 in additional fee. Nothing reminds you.
Questions
What people ask about ROC filings.
What is the ROC late fee?
The MCA additional fee is ₹100 per day per form, and unlike GST and TDS it has no upper limit. Two annual forms filed a year late works out to roughly ₹73,000. This is the single most expensive thing a small company can quietly get wrong, because nothing reminds you and the cost grows every day the form is not filed.
My company has not started trading. Do I still have to file?
Yes. A company that has not traded still files its annual accounts and its annual return. A dormant company is not an exempt company. This is the most common reason a first-year founder ends up with a bill they did not expect.
Does this apply to my proprietorship?
No. ROC filings apply to companies and LLPs. A proprietorship or a partnership firm is not registered with the Registrar of Companies and owes nothing here. Your GST, TDS and income tax obligations are unaffected.
I just incorporated. What is due first?
There are two forms in your first months with tight windows from your incorporation date — appointing your first auditor, and declaring that you have commenced business. Both carry a penalty if missed. Send us your incorporation date and we will tell you exactly what you owe and by when.
