When is the AGM for a private limited company with March year-end?

For a private limited company with March year-end, the AGM must be held within 6 months from the close of the financial year — i.e., by 30 September (s.96(1), Companies Act 2013). For the first financial year, the AGM can be held within 9 months from the close of that year.

What happens if we miss the AOC-4 deadline?

If AOC-4 (filing of financial statements) is filed late, a late fee of ₹100 per day applies with no upper cap (s.137(3), Companies Act 2013). The company and every officer in default are liable for this penalty.

How much notice is required for an AGM?

At least 21 clear days' notice must be sent to every member, auditor, and director (s.101(1), Companies Act 2013). Shorter notice is valid only if 95% of members entitled to vote consent.

Does a One Person Company need to hold an AGM?

No. One Person Companies (OPCs) are exempt from holding an AGM under s.96(1) of the Companies Act 2013. However, OPCs must file AOC-4 within 180 days from the close of the financial year and MGT-7A within 60 days.
