Overview
What is Annual ROC Filing?
Annual ROC filing is the yearly compliance every registered company, OPC and LLP must complete with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) under the Companies Act, 2013 or the LLP Act, 2008 — regardless of whether the business made a profit, had any turnover, or was active at all.
It typically covers filing your financial statements, your annual return, and — for companies — holding the required board meetings and AGM. The exact forms differ by entity type, but the obligation is universal: every incorporated entity must file, every year, without exception.
Missing a filing doesn't just risk a penalty — it can lead to your company being marked "non-compliant" or eventually struck off the register, and disqualify your directors. Annual filing is the price of staying in good standing.
Who it's for
Who needs annual ROC filing?
If you've registered any of these entities, annual ROC filing applies to you — even in your first year, and even if the business hasn't started operating.
✓
One Person Companies
OPCs file AOC-4 and MGT-7A — lighter than a Pvt Ltd, but still mandatory annually.
✓
LLPs
Every LLP files Form 11 (annual return) and Form 8 (statement of account & solvency).
✦
Section 8 Companies
Non-profit companies follow the same AOC-4 / MGT-7 cycle as a private company.
✦
Dormant & inactive entities
Even a company or LLP with no activity or bank transactions must still file — "dormant" isn't "exempt".
✦
Newly incorporated entities
Your first annual filing is usually due within a year of incorporation — we track it from day one.
Entity 01Companies (Pvt Ltd & Section 8)Starts from ₹5,999 · Annual
Private Limited and Section 8 companies file the fullest annual compliance — audited financials, the annual return, and the board/AGM paperwork that supports both.
Entity 02One Person Company (OPC)Starts from ₹4,999 · Annual
An OPC files a lighter version of the same cycle — AOC-4 for financials and MGT-7A for the annual return, and is exempt from holding an AGM.
Entity 03LLPStarts from ₹3,999 · Annual
An LLP's annual compliance is the lightest of the three — just Form 11 (annual return) and Form 8 (statement of account & solvency), with audit required only above prescribed thresholds.

One transparent professional fee, confirmed in writing before we begin. Government filing fees are charged at actuals — never marked up.

Don't miss it
Late fees and penalties
ROC late fees are steep, uncapped, and accrue every single day — the single biggest reason to keep filings on schedule.
Late filing fee
₹100 / day
Per form, per day of delay, with no upper cap — a filing missed by a few months can cost tens of thousands.
Additional government fee
2×–12× normal fee
Beyond the daily penalty, the MCA charges an additional filing fee that scales steeply with the delay period.
Director disqualification
Up to 5 years
Directors of a company that fails to file for three consecutive years can be disqualified from holding directorships.

FAQ
Annual ROC Filing, answered.
Do I need to file if my company had zero turnover?
Yes. Annual ROC filing is mandatory regardless of turnover or activity — even a dormant company or LLP must file AOC-4/MGT-7 or Form 11/8 every year.
What happens if I miss a due date?
A late fee of ₹100 per day per form applies with no upper cap, plus an additional government fee that increases with the delay. Repeated non-filing can lead to the entity being struck off and directors disqualified.
Does my LLP need an audit before filing Form 8?
Only if your LLP's annual turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or capital contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh. Below both thresholds, no audit is required before filing.
Is DIR-3 KYC part of annual ROC filing?
It's a separate annual filing, but on the same yearly cycle — every director or designated partner must complete DIR-3 KYC by 30 September each year to keep their DIN/DPIN active.
When is my first annual filing due after incorporation?
Typically within the financial year following incorporation, once your first AGM (for companies) is held or your LLP completes its first accounting period. We calculate your exact first due date when we onboard you.
Can you handle ROC filing if another CA registered my company?
Yes. We regularly take over ongoing compliance for companies and LLPs incorporated elsewhere — we just need your incorporation documents and prior filings to get started.
