ROC Filing Annual Compliance for Companies & LLPs

ROC filing refers to the mandatory annual and event-based forms that every company and Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) registered in India must submit to the Registrar of Companies (RoC) under the Companies Act, 2013 and the LLP Act, 2008. These filings keep your entity's public records up to date and confirm that it is meeting its statutory obligations.

Who is required to complete ROC filing?

  • Private & Public Limited Companies: Must file financial statements and annual returns every year, even if there was no business activity during the year.
  • One Person Companies (OPC): Required to file annual returns and financial statements in the simplified forms applicable to them.
  • Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP): Must file an Annual Return and a Statement of Account & Solvency each financial year.
  • Section 8 / Not-for-profit Companies: Bound by the same annual filing requirements as other companies.
  • Directors & Designated Partners: Must complete their annual KYC with the RoC to keep their DIN/DPIN active.
  • Dormant & Inactive Entities: Continue to have filing obligations until they are formally struck off or closed.

Mandatory ROC Filing Forms & Due Dates

Different forms apply depending on whether you run a company or an LLP. The due dates below are the standard timelines under the applicable Acts; the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) may notify extensions from year to year.

Key filings for Companies:

  • Form AOC-4: Filing of financial statements (Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Account and related documents). Due within 30 days of the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
  • Form MGT-7 / MGT-7A: Annual Return with details of shareholders, directors and shareholding. Due within 60 days of the AGM. MGT-7A applies to OPCs and small companies.
  • Form ADT-1: Intimation of appointment of auditor. Due within 15 days of the AGM at which the auditor is appointed.
  • Form DPT-3: Annual return of deposits and outstanding loans. Due by 30th June each year for the preceding financial year.
  • Form DIR-3 KYC: Annual KYC for every director/DIN holder. Due by 30th September each year to keep the DIN active.
  • Form MSME-1: Half-yearly return of outstanding dues to micro and small enterprises, where applicable.

Key filings for LLPs:

  • Form 11 (Annual Return): Summary of the LLP's partners and any changes during the year. Due by 30th May each year.
  • Form 8 (Statement of Account & Solvency): Declaration of solvency and statement of accounts. Due by 30th October each year.

Penalties for Late or Missed ROC Filing

Non-compliance is expensive. Most delayed company forms attract an additional fee of ₹100 per day, per form, with no upper limit, and late LLP filings carry similar daily penalties. Continued default can lead to the company or LLP being struck off, directors being disqualified, and DINs being deactivated. Timely, accurate filing is the only way to avoid these consequences.
