Short answerLate ROC filing carries a penalty of ₹100 per day per form, with no upper cap — so delays get expensive fast. Continued default can also lead to director disqualification and the company being struck off.

₹100/day, no cap

It accrues per form per day, so a few months’ delay can run into large amounts.

Disqualification / strike-off

Three years of non-filing can disqualify directors and lead to strike-off.
