Overview
What is ROC Annual Compliance?
ROC Annual Compliance in Thanisandra — in brief
ROC Annual Filing refers to the mandatory annual compliance filings that every company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 must submit to the Registrar of Companies (ROC) through the MCA21 portal. The two primary filings are AOC-4 (financial statements including P&L, balance sheet and auditor's report) due within 60 days of the AGM, and MGT-7/MGT-7A (annual return) due within 60 days of the AGM. For most private limited companies, AOC-4 is due by September 30 and MGT-7A by November 29 (assuming AGM on September 30). For clients in Thanisandra, Bengaluru, Lorven Tax handles every step online with CA review and status updates.
