ROC Compliance for Pvt Ltd Company

All you need to know

What is Annual ROC Compliance Filing for a Private Limited Company?  

Every Private Limited Company in India must file certain documents every year with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) — this is known as Annual ROC Compliance Filing. Even if the company didn’t do any business or had no income, this filing is still mandatory.

There are two main forms to be filed:

  • Form AOC-4: This includes your company’s financials — like the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Account.
  • Form MGT-7: This gives an overview of your company’s details — such as directors, shareholders, and registered office.

These documents help the government keep track of your company’s legal status, financial health, and ownership. Filing them on time protects the company from penalties and keeps it in “active” status under the Companies Act, 2013.

What is included in the Annual Return?

  • The company’s Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Statement
  • A compliance certificate from professionals (if applicable)
  • Address of the registered office
  • Names and shareholding details of all directors and shareholders
