Frequently Asked Questions
What annual filings must every Indian company submit to the MCA?
Every company must file AOC-4 (financial statements) within 60 days of the AGM and MGT-7 (annual return) within 60 days of the AGM. Listed companies file MGT-7A instead. Companies must hold their AGM within 6 months of the financial year-end. Late filing attracts an additional fee of Rs.100 per day per form with no cap.
What is a secretarial audit and which companies require it?
A secretarial audit is conducted by a Practising Company Secretary to verify compliance with the Companies Act, SEBI regulations, FEMA, and other legislation. It is mandatory for listed companies, public companies with paid-up capital exceeding Rs.10 crore or turnover exceeding Rs.250 crore, and material subsidiaries of listed companies. The audit report in Form MR-3 is annexed to the Board's Report.
What are the key FEMA compliance requirements for companies with FDI?
Companies that have received FDI must report inward remittance within 30 days, file FC-GPR within 30 days of share allotment, file the annual FLA return by 15 July each year, report any downstream investment, and comply with pricing guidelines for secondary transactions. Violations of FEMA reporting attract compounding penalties.
What board meeting and AGM requirements must companies comply with?
Every company must hold a minimum of 4 board meetings per year with no gap of more than 120 days between two consecutive meetings. The first board meeting must be held within 30 days of incorporation. AGMs must be held within 6 months of the financial year-end with 21 clear days notice. Listed companies must also comply with SEBI LODR regulations.
What statutory registers must a company maintain?
Under the Companies Act every company must maintain Register of Members, Register of Directors, Register of Loans and Investments, Register of Contracts with Related Parties, Register of Charges, Minutes books for board and general meetings, and Register of Beneficial Owners. These must be maintained at the registered office and produced on demand by regulators.
What are the consequences of non-compliance with ROC filing requirements?
Non-compliance can result in additional filing fees of Rs.100 per day with no cap, striking off the company from the Register under Section 248, disqualification of directors under Section 164 if a company fails to file for 3 consecutive years, and criminal prosecution for wilful default. We track all deadlines and ensure all filings are made on time.
