Q: What is the due date for MGT-7 (Annual Return) in 2026?
A: MGT-7 must be filed within 60 days from the date of AGM. Since AGM must be held within 6 months from the close of financial year (31 March for most companies), the AGM deadline is 30 September 2025, making the MGT-7 due date 29 November 2025. Our ROC Tracker calculates your exact due date based on your actual AGM date.
Q: What is the ROC late fee for delayed MGT-7 filing?
A: The additional late fee for delayed MGT-7 filing is Rs. 100 per day with no maximum cap. Under the CCFS 2026 scheme (closing 15 July 2026), you can pay only 10% of accumulated additional fee, saving up to 90%. Our tracker shows your exact penalty and CCFS savings.
Q: What is DIR-3 KYC due date 2026?
A: DIR-3 KYC must be filed by 30 September 2026 for all directors holding a valid DIN. Missing this deadline deactivates the DIN and requires payment of a flat Rs. 5,000 reactivation fee. DIR-3 KYC is NOT covered under the CCFS 2026 scheme.
Q: What are the mandatory annual ROC filings for a Private Limited Company?
A: Every Private Limited Company must mandatorily file: (1) MGT-7 — Annual Return within 60 days of AGM, (2) AOC-4 — Financial Statements within 30 days of AGM, (3) DIR-3 KYC — Director KYC by 30 September, (4) ADT-1 — Auditor appointment within 15 days of AGM, (5) DPT-3 — Return of deposits/loans by 30 June, (6) MSME-1 — if MSME vendor payments outstanding.
Q: What is the due date for AOC-4 (Financial Statements) in 2026?
A: AOC-4 must be filed within 30 days from the date of AGM. For companies with March 31 financial year end and AGM held by 30 September 2025, the AOC-4 due date is 30 October 2025. OPC has a different rule — 180 days from financial year end.
Q: What is DPT-3 and when is it due?
A: DPT-3 is the annual return of outstanding deposits and exempted deposits (including loans from directors and shareholders) as on 31 March. It must be filed by 30 June every year. Most companies have loans that qualify — even if no public deposits are accepted. Failure attracts Rs. 100/day additional fee.
Q: What is MSME-1 and who needs to file it?
A: MSME-1 is a half-yearly return required for companies that have received goods/services from MSME suppliers and have outstanding payments exceeding 45 days. Filed twice: April-September period by 31 October, October-March period by 30 April. Non-filing can attract penalty of Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 3,00,000.
Q: What is CCFS 2026 and how does it help?
A: CCFS 2026 (Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme) is a one-time amnesty scheme by MCA allowing companies to pay only 10% of accumulated additional fees for delayed filings of forms like MGT-7, AOC-4, ADT-1, DIR-12 etc. The scheme closes on 15 July 2026. Our ROC tracker shows your exact savings under CCFS.
Q: What happens if INC-20A is not filed within 180 days?
A: If INC-20A (Commencement of Business declaration) is not filed within 180 days of incorporation, the company cannot legally commence business or exercise borrowing powers. The ROC can initiate strike-off proceedings. Penalty is Rs. 50,000 for the company and Rs. 1,000 per day for each defaulting director.
Q: Can a Small Company skip some ROC filings?
A: Small Companies (paid-up capital ≤ Rs. 4 Crore AND turnover ≤ Rs. 40 Crore) have a simplified annual return — MGT-7A instead of MGT-7. They are also exempt from certain requirements like mandatory rotation of auditors and secretarial audit. However, core filings like AOC-4, DIR-3 KYC, ADT-1 and DPT-3 remain mandatory.
