ROC Filing Due Dates, Forms & Penalties for FY 2025-26
All Indian companies (Private Limited, Public, OPC) and LLPs must complete their annual filings with the Registrar of Companies (ROC). Here is the compliance calendar.
Who is this for: Corporate Compliance
Annual ROC filing is a mandatory legal compliance process for registered companies and LLPs under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Failing to file within the statutory due dates attracts heavy daily penalties, disqualification of company directors, and legal actions.
ROC Compliance Calendar for FY 2025-26
Keep track of the annual filing calendar for companies and LLPs to avoid late fees:
| Form Name | Purpose / Document Type | Filing Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| AOC-4 | Filing Financial Statements (Balance Sheet, P&L, Board Report) | 30th October 2026 (Within 30 days of AGM) |
| MGT-7 | Annual Return (Details of Directors, Shareholding Pattern) | 29th November 2026 (Within 60 days of AGM) |
| LLP Form 11 | Annual Return of Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) | 30th May 2026 |
| LLP Form 8 | Statement of Account & Solvency for LLPs | 30th October 2026 |
Understanding AOC-4 and MGT-7
These two forms represent the core of annual company filings.
- AOC-4: Requires the company's audited Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Account, Director's Report, Auditor's Report, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) details where applicable. It must be approved by the Board and audited by a Chartered Accountant before submission.
- MGT-7: Captures share capital details, debentures, list of shareholders, transfers, details of meetings (AGM/Board meetings), and remuneration paid to directors and key managerial personnel.
Statutory Fees & Late Filing Penalties
Normal filing fees are based on the company's authorized capital (typically starting at ₹300 per form for small companies). However, delay penalties are severe:
⚠️ Penalty for Delay:
Failing to submit AOC-4 or MGT-7 within the due dates invites an additional fee of ₹100 per day, per form. There is no maximum cap on this penalty. Additionally, companies can face fines starting at ₹1 Lakh, and directors risk disqualification from boards.
CCFS-2026 Amnesty Scheme Details
To help companies clear old defaults, the MCA introduced the Condonation of Delay Scheme (CCFS-2026). Under this scheme, companies with pending filings can file old annual returns with reduced additional fees and obtain immunity from prosecution, provided they complete the filing within the designated window.
