The filings that are mandatory regardless of turnover
Every registered company and LLP in India owes the ROC a fixed set of annual filings — irrespective of whether you did ₹10 lakh or ₹10 crore in revenue, whether you're profitable, or even whether you're actively trading. Miss them and the penalty is a flat additional government fee per day of delay, with no cap, plus the risk of your directors being disqualified from holding directorships anywhere else.
We track every filing your specific entity owes — AOC-4 (financial statements) and MGT-7/7A (annual return) for companies, Form 11 and Form 8 for LLPs, DIR-3 KYC for every director, and the board resolutions and minutes that should sit behind them — and file each one inside the statutory window.
Late ROC filings attract an additional fee of ₹100 per day, per form, with no upper limit — a filing that's a year late can cost tens of thousands of rupees more than the base fee, on top of the compliance risk.
What's included
Coverage varies slightly by entity type, but typically includes:
AOC-4 filing
Financial statements filed with the ROC within 30 days of the AGM.
MGT-7 / MGT-7A
Annual return filed within 60 days of the AGM, reflecting shareholding and governance.
DIR-3 KYC
Annual KYC for every director, filed before the deadline to avoid DIN deactivation.
LLP Form 11 & Form 8
Annual return and statement of accounts for LLP entities.
Board meeting minutes
Minuted board meetings maintained to the statutory minimum, properly documented.
Event-based filings
Director changes, address changes and share allotments filed as and when they occur.

What ROC non-compliance actually costs
ROC filings are the compliance most founders forget, precisely because nothing prompts them. GST and TDS have monthly deadlines that force attention; the Registrar's forms come round once a year and carry no invoice, no customer, no payroll — so they slip. The penalty structure is built to punish exactly that kind of drift, and it's unusually unforgiving.
The headline is the additional fee of ₹100 per day, per form, with no upper limit. Miss AOC-4 (your financial statements) and MGT-7 (your annual return) by a few months and the late fees run into tens of thousands of rupees — and unlike most penalties, there is no cap and no waiver. But the money is the least of it. Continued default can lead to disqualification of directors under Section 164(2): a director of a company that fails to file financials or annual returns for three consecutive years is barred from being a director in that or any other company for five years.
Beyond that sit deactivation of DINs, the company being marked as a defaulting company, and ultimately the Registrar's power to strike the company off the register altogether — which can freeze bank accounts and undo years of work. For any company that intends to raise money or be acquired, a clean ROC record isn't optional: it's one of the first things due diligence pulls, and gaps here raise questions that are expensive to answer later.
ROC compliance is a mix of annual filings and event-based ones — a new director, a share allotment, a loan, a change of registered office each trigger their own form with their own deadline. Without someone tracking the calendar, the event-based filings are the ones that quietly go unfiled until diligence surfaces them.
The annual cycle, plus the filings nobody remembers
A typical private company's yearly ROC cycle runs through auditor appointment (ADT-1), the financial statements (AOC-4), the annual return (MGT-7 or 7A), director KYC (DIR-3 KYC), and — where relevant — DPT-3 for deposits and MSME-1 for dues to small suppliers, alongside properly minuted board and general meetings and up-to-date statutory registers. We run the full cycle on a fixed calendar and handle the event-based forms as they arise, so nothing waits until it's late.
Because AOC-4 is your finalised financial statements in the Registrar's format, this work depends directly on clean books — which is why it sits naturally with year-end finalisation and your monthly accounting. Keeping ROC, GST and TDS deadlines on one compliance calendar is what turns a scramble into a routine.
"We had no revenue this year, so there's nothing to file."
ROC filings are mandatory whether or not you traded. A dormant or pre-revenue company still files AOC-4 and MGT-7 — and still accrues ₹100/day if it doesn't.
"The late fee is small; we'll catch up eventually."
It's ₹100 per day per form with no cap, and three years of default disqualifies your directors. "Eventually" is the single most expensive word in ROC compliance.
