What are the annual compliances for a Private Limited startup?

Short answerEach year a Private Limited startup must hold board meetings and an AGM, get its accounts audited, file financials (AOC-4) and the annual return (MGT-7) with the ROC, file its income-tax return, and complete director KYC. Missing these brings daily penalties and can get the company struck off.

The annual checklist

  • Board meetings + AGM
  • Statutory audit of accounts
  • ROC filings: AOC-4 (financials) and MGT-7 (annual return)
  • Income-tax return
  • Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC)

What missing them costs

ROC late fees run at ₹100 per day per form with no cap, directors’ DINs get deactivated, and persistent default can lead to strike-off. Our startup compliance service keeps you on schedule.
