Short answerIf a company stops filing, ₹100/day penalties accrue per form, directors can be disqualified after three years of default, and the ROC can strike the company off the register. Reviving a struck-off company needs an NCLT order.

What happens

Mounting penalties, frozen ability to file, and eventual strike-off.

Strike-off and revival

Once struck off, revival requires an NCLT application — far costlier than filing on time.
