The ROC Compliance Calendar
Managing a Private Limited Company in India isn’t just about making sales; it’s about maintaining your legal standing with the ROC (Registrar of Companies). Missing these deadlines results in massive daily penalties and even director disqualification.
1. Filing AOC-4 (Financial Statements)
Every company must file its audited balance sheet and profit & loss statement using Form AOC-4 within 30 days of its Annual General Meeting (AGM).
2. Filing MGT-7 (Annual Return)
Form MGT-7 contains all the operational details of the company, such as shareholding changes and details of your registered office. This is also filed annually within 60 days of the AGM.
3. ADT-1: Auditor Appointment
Within 15 days of your first board meeting or AGM, you must formally notify the ROC about the appointment of your statutory auditor.

Companies are legally required to hold at least 4 board meetings every year (one per quarter) and maintain official minutes as evidence.
