However, holding the AGM doesn\u2019t imply that the year-end compliance tasks of the company have been completed. In fact, once the AGM has been completed, companies must make certain ROC filings, maintain statutory records, and see that all compliance requirements have been met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Failure to comply with these time lines can attract various penalties. Thus, it becomes imperative for all companies to have an AGM checklist of compliance requirements. In this blog, we will discuss the important ROC compliance obligations to be complied with by companies following the AGM, the requisite forms, timelines, and mistakes to be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mylegalbusiness.com\/blog\/roc-compliance-after-agm\/#What_Is_ROC_Compliance_After_AGM\" >What Is ROC Compliance After AGM?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mylegalbusiness.com\/blog\/roc-compliance-after-agm\/#Important_ROC_Forms_to_Be_Filed_After_AGM\" >Important ROC Forms to Be Filed After AGM<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mylegalbusiness.com\/blog\/roc-compliance-after-agm\/#A_Form_AOC-4_%E2%80%93_Filing_of_Financial_Statements\" >A.

What are the main ROC forms to be filed after an AGM?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main annual filings are generally AOC-4 for financial statements and MGT-7 or MGT-7A for the annual return. ADT-1 and other event-based forms may also be required, depending on the appointment and resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q2. What is the due date for filing AOC-4 after the AGM?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, AOC-4 must be filed within 30 days of the AGM under Section 137 of the Companies Act, 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q3. What is the due date for filing MGT-7 or MGT-7A?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The annual return is generally required to be filed within 60 days from the date of the AGM under Section 92 of the Companies Act, 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q4. Is ADT-1 mandatory after every AGM?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. ADT-1 is not automatically required after every AGM. The company should examine whether an auditor appointment or reappointment has occurred and whether the relevant filing requirement applies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q5. What happens if a company does not file ROC forms on time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company may be required to pay additional filing fees and may face penalties or other consequences under the applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q6. Does a private limited company need to file both AOC-4 and MGT-7?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, yes. A private limited company must file its financial statements and annual return using the applicable forms, subject to the relevant legal requirements and exemptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q7. Is MGT-7A suitable for all private limited companies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. MGT-7A is usually suited for OPCs and small companies which fall under the prescribed category. Other companies use MGT-7 generally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q8. What if a company has not held its AGM?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would be best for the company to consider the required conditions for AGMs, the reason behind the failure, and the proper course of action to take. It is important for them to evaluate the time limit and consequences depending on the particular law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q9. Can all ROC compliances be done through a Company Secretary?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The company may employ a practicing Company Secretary or any other competent professional who could help with the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q10. How can one avoid post-AGM compliance delays?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is important for the company to follow the compliance calendar, have the financial\/statutory documents ready, spot out the particular filing required, and evaluate the particular due dates before and after the AGM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The completion of AGM is a very important landmark for any business organization; however, it is imperative for firms to ensure that all the ROC submissions are done before the stipulated deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes everything from the filing of financial statements via the AOC-4 form to filing the annual return in MGT-7 or MGT-7A form.
