What is ROC Annual Filing for Public Limited Company?  

A Public Limited Company must file its annual financial statements and returns every year with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) under the Companies Act, 2013. This process is known as ROC Annual Filing and ensures the company remains compliant and active on the MCA portal.

Amendment for FY 2024-25   

As per the latest MCA update, companies can complete their AOC-4 and MGT-7/MGT-7A filings for FY 2024-25 till 31st December 2025 without paying any additional fees. This relaxation applies only for this financial year.
