Company Compliance AOC-4, MGT-7, audit, and tax on a single calendar.

End-to-end company compliance services in India under the Companies Act, 2013 — AOC-4 and MGT-7 annual filings, board and AGM compliance, secretarial records, statutory and tax audit, income tax return, GST, TDS, ROC event-based filings, director DIN KYC, and FEMA where applicable.

An Indian private limited company or public limited company is governed by the Companies Act, 2013 and is supervised by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs through the Registrar of Companies. Every company — irrespective of turnover, profit, or activity — is required to comply with a continuous calendar of statutory obligations, including holding board meetings and an Annual General Meeting, maintaining statutory registers and minute books, getting its accounts audited by a Chartered Accountant, and filing two principal e-forms with the ROC each year — Form AOC-4 for the audited financial statements within 30 days of the AGM, and Form MGT-7 for the annual return within 60 days of the AGM.

Beyond the two annual returns, every company has a continuous stream of event-based ROC filings — DIR-12 for change in directors, INC-22 for change in registered office, SH-7 for change in authorised capital, PAS-3 for allotment of shares, CHG-1 and CHG-4 for charge creation and satisfaction, MSME-1 for outstanding payables to MSMEs, DPT-3 for return of deposits, ADT-1 for auditor appointment, and a long list of others. Alongside MCA filings, the company must comply with the Income Tax Act, GST law, TDS provisions, FEMA where there are foreign shareholders, and sector-specific regulators where applicable.

Our company compliance practice acts as the long-term compliance partner for private limited and public companies in India. We handle MCA filings (AOC-4, MGT-7, event-based forms, director KYC), secretarial work (board meetings, AGM, minutes, registers), statutory and tax audit, income tax return, GST and TDS, FEMA reporting where applicable, and ROC follow-up. The objective is a clean MCA record, zero missed deadlines, and a compliance position that holds up under diligence by investors, banks, and acquirers.
