Process

How the service works

The workflow is built to be predictable: document collection, legal review, filing, and post-filing follow-through.

Step 1Scope

Map your compliance calendar

We map your financial year end, AGM date, and outstanding filings to build the annual MCA calendar for your company.

Step 2Docs

Collect the year's records

We gather financial statements, registers, meeting minutes, and director KYC data and check them for gaps.

Step 3Draft

Draft the filings

We prepare the AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-3 KYC, and any event-based forms so the board can review and sign quickly.

Step 4File

Submit and track

We submit each form on the MCA portal, track acknowledgements, and handle any SRN-linked queries or corrections.

Step 5Close

Hand over the compliance trail

You get a closure note with filed SRNs, register updates, and the next quarter's reminders.

AEO summary

Company compliance is the year-round MCA calendar for a Private Limited company — AOC-4 and MGT-7 annual filings, DIR-3 KYC, statutory registers, board minutes, and event-based filings run by a CA so nothing lapses.

Why compliance is a calendar, not a one-off

A Private Limited company's obligations repeat every financial year: the annual return under s.92, financial statements under s.137, the AGM under s.96, and DIR-3 KYC for each director. When these are tracked as a single calendar, the work is predictable and each filing has a due date — not a surprise.

Event-based filings add to the calendar: a resolution that needs MGT-14 under s.117, a change in directors, an increase in authorised capital, or a charge on assets. Each of these has its own form and timeline, and each leaves a trace that banks, investors, and diligence teams will look at.

  • AOC-4 within 30 days of the AGM (s.137)
  • MGT-7 annual return within 60 days of the AGM (s.92)
  • DIR-3 KYC for every director (Rule 12A)
  • Statutory registers kept current (s.88)

What skipping this costs the company

Missed filings attract an additional fee under s.403 of the Companies Act 2013, and the late fee compounds the longer the filing stays pending. Beyond fees, a company with an incomplete record trail struggles the moment it needs a bank loan, an investor, or a certificate from the ROC.

Our role is to make the calendar run itself: we draft, file, track, and remind, so the founder's job is approving documents on time — not remembering which form is due when.

  • No avoidable additional fees under s.403
  • A clean record trail for loans, investors, and diligence
  • Every director's KYC current, so the company can always transact

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does ongoing company compliance include?
It covers the repeating MCA calendar: the annual return (MGT-7) under s.92, financial statements filing (AOC-4) within 30 days of the AGM under s.137, the AGM itself under s.96, DIR-3 KYC for every director, statutory registers under s.88, and event-based filings such as MGT-14 for resolutions under s.117.
What happens if we miss an annual filing deadline?
Late filings attract an additional fee under s.403 of the Companies Act 2013, and continued default on the annual return or financial statements can lead to the company being marked as struck off. We schedule filings ahead of the due date so the additional fee never applies.
Do we still need this if we are a dormant or new company?
Yes — every Private Limited company files AOC-4 and MGT-7 annually unless it qualifies for dormant status (s.455) or the small-company MGT-7A route (s.92(2)). DIR-3 KYC is also mandatory for every director each year under Rule 12A of the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules 2014.
What should you send us before we start?
Send your company's incorporation certificate, financial statements or draft numbers, director and shareholder list, and any resolutions passed during the year. That is enough for us to build the calendar, confirm which forms are due, and tell you what is already overdue.
