Annual ROC filing due dates
| Form | Who | Due date | Late fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADT-1 | Company | 15 days from the AGM (AGM by 30 September) | 2 to 12 times the normal fee |
| AOC-4 | Company | 30 days from the AGM | ₹100 a day |
| MGT-7 / MGT-7A | Company | 60 days from the AGM | ₹100 a day |
| Form 11 | LLP | 30 May | ₹100 a day |
| Form 8 | LLP | 30 October | ₹100 a day |
The ₹100-a-day fee has no upper limit, so a year’s delay on both AOC-4 and MGT-7 costs over ₹73,000 in fees alone. Continued default can also lead to director disqualification and strike-off.
