Understanding ROC Filing Fees and Penalties for Companies

Private Limited, Public Limited, OPCs, and Small Companies in India must adhere to strict filing deadlines set by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Failing to file statutory forms within the prescribed timeline incurs heavy penalties. The penalty structure is divided into two major categories: the flat ₹100/day penalty for annual returns, and the multiplier-based penalty for general forms.

📊Normal Base Fees (Companies)

Authorised Capital (₹)Normal Fee (All Companies)
Up to ₹1 Lakh₹ 200
₹1 Lakh to ₹5 Lakhs₹ 300
₹5 Lakhs to ₹25 Lakhs₹ 400
₹25 Lakhs to ₹1 Crore₹ 500
More than ₹1 Crore₹ 600

AOC-4 and MGT-7 Late Filing Penalty

Forms like AOC-4 (Financial Statements) and MGT-7 (Annual Return) do not follow the standard multiplier penalty. Instead, they attract an uncapped penalty of ₹100 per day. A delay of one year can cost the company ₹36,500 in penalties alone per form.

The 2020 Decriminalization & Statutory Penalties (MGT-14, DIR-12, BEN-2)

Following the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2020, severe criminal fines were converted into civil adjudication penalties. Our engine calculates these exact statutory liabilities. For example:

  • MGT-14 (Resolutions): The devastating pre-2020 fines (up to ₹25 Lakhs) were slashed to a flat ₹10,000 base + ₹100/day (capped at ₹2,00,000 for the company and ₹50,000 for the officer) under the amended Section 117(2).
  • DIR-12 (Directors): Governed by the Chapter XI residuary penalty (Section 172), delays attract a base penalty of ₹50,000 + ₹500/day for both the company and the officer in default.
  • BEN-2 (Significant Beneficial Owner): Under Section 90(11), delays incur ₹1,00,000 + ₹500/day for the company and ₹25,000 + ₹200/day for the officer.

🛡️ Section 446B Halving Relief

The Companies Act provides immense relief to Small Companies, One Person Companies (OPCs), and Startups under Section 446B. If your company falls into these categories, any statutory adjudication penalty (e.g., Section 450 for DPT-3, Section 172 for DIR-12) is automatically slashed by 50%. Our calculator natively applies this 50% discount and halves the maximum penalty caps when you select "Small" or "OPC" as your company type.

Frequently Asked Questions

For private and public companies, normal filing fees range from ₹200 to ₹600 depending on the authorized share capital. For OPCs and Small Companies, the fee is heavily subsidized, ranging from ₹50 to ₹200.

Annual returns like AOC-4 and MGT-7 have an uncapped penalty of ₹100 per day. For example, if you are 30 days late, the penalty will be exactly ₹3,000 in addition to the normal filing fee.

General forms attract a multiplier-based penalty. If filed within 15-30 days of the due date, you pay 2x the normal fee. Delaying over 180 days attracts a penalty of 12x the normal fee. (Note: ADT-1 has a 15-day grace period where no penalty applies).

Stamp duty for increasing authorized share capital is determined by your state. For example, Maharashtra charges 0.2% subject to a cap of ₹50 Lakhs, while Delhi charges 0.15%. Our calculator provides an indicative estimate based on your selected state.

If CHG-1 (Creation of Charge) is delayed beyond 30 days, an ad valorem fee is charged. This fee is a percentage of the secured amount (0.05% for normal companies, up to a cap of ₹5,00,000) on top of the standard late fee multiplier.

Post the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2020, the penalty for MGT-14 under Section 117(2) was drastically reduced. The company faces a base penalty of ₹10,000 plus ₹100 per day (capped at ₹2,00,000). The officer in default also faces ₹10,000 plus ₹100 per day (capped at ₹50,000).

DIR-12 falls under the Chapter XI residuary penalty (Section 172). Both the company and the officer in default are liable to a base penalty of ₹50,000 plus ₹500 per day. The maximum cap is ₹3,00,000 for the company and ₹1,00,000 for the officer.

Section 446B provides a massive 50% discount on statutory adjudication penalties (like Section 450) for Small Companies, One Person Companies (OPCs), and Startups. The maximum caps are also halved.

Under Section 90(11), the penalty for BEN-2 is a base of ₹1,00,000 plus ₹500/day for the company (max ₹5,00,000), and ₹25,000 plus ₹200/day for the officer in default (max ₹1,00,000).

Fees shown are indicative based on the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014 as amended. Always verify on the MCA portal before filing. This tool does not account for state stamp duty or professional charges.
