ROC compliance is a calendar sport with per-day penalties: AOC-4 and MGT-7 for every company every year, event forms whenever something changes, and additional fees of ₹100 per day that never negotiate. This engagement runs the corporate secretarial calendar so nothing accrues quietly.
| Item | Position |
|---|---|
| AGM-linked clock | AOC-4 within 30 days, MGT-7 within 60 days of the AGM |
| Late fee | ₹100/day per form for annual returns — uncapped |
| Event forms | Mostly 30-day windows from the event |
| Director KYC | Per the current DIR-3 KYC cycle; DIN deactivation on default |
Filed forms with challans and SRNs, an always-current compliance register, minutes and resolutions backing each filing, and a year-planner your board can see.
Signed financials and audit report, board/AGM minutes, statutory registers, DSCs of signatories, and event documents as they arise.
Board decisions and signed documents come from the company on the agreed dates; DSC availability is the signatories' responsibility. Facts stated in forms are certified on management's records.
Adjudication/compounding proceedings, NCLT matters and secretarial audit are separate engagements, taken up with the appropriate professionals where the law requires them.
We have not filed for two years. How bad is it?
Quantifiable: ₹100/day/form plus director-disqualification risk beyond thresholds. A records review prices the clean-up exactly, and amnesty windows (like CCFS-2026) are used when open. No waiver can be promised; a plan can.
Is an AGM really needed for a small private company?
Yes, annually (OPC excepted) — and its date drives both annual forms. Getting the AGM record right is half of ROC hygiene.
Do you chase us or do we chase you?
The calendar chases both of us: reminders go out ahead of every date with exactly what is needed. Silence from the client side is escalated, not absorbed.
Can one engagement cover our three group companies?
Yes — multi-entity retainers run one calendar with per-entity registers, priced by entity and event volume.
The applicable scope, documentation, professional responsibilities and timelines are agreed in an engagement letter before commencement.
CCFS-2026 Backlog FilingDPT-3 ReturnShare Allotment FilingsRequest a Scope DiscussionThis page describes the service in general terms as on 6 August 2026 and is not professional advice or an assurance of any outcome. Registrations, filings, refunds and departmental outcomes depend on facts and the concerned authority. Figures and due dates change; verify current positions before acting.
Dates assume a 30 September 2026 AGM where relevant; OPCs run on modified timelines — ask us. Full guide: ROC annual filing due dates & penalties.
What are the government amounts?
Normal MCA filing fees are modest and scale with authorised capital. The number that hurts is the late one: ₹100 per day per form with no upper cap — a form forgotten for a year costs more than a decade of doing it on time.
What shapes the professional fee?
Entity count, event-based filings during the year (allotments, charges, director changes), XBRL applicability, and whether a backlog needs regularising first — CCFS-2026 makes that conversation cheaper until 31 August 2026.
How do we quote?
A fixed annual fee per entity in writing, with the filing calendar attached and event-based forms priced on a published per-event basis — you always know before we file. Get the calendar and quote.
