Annual Compliance for Your Private Limited Company
Stay in good standing with the Registrar of Companies. Leegal manages your board meetings, annual filings and statutory audit coordination.
What Does Annual Compliance Cover?
Every private limited company, active or not, must complete a set of annual compliance steps — including board meetings, an annual general meeting (for most companies), filing financial statements and an annual return with the Registrar of Companies.
Missing these deadlines attracts escalating penalties and can eventually affect the company's active status, so keeping a compliance calendar matters even for dormant companies.
| Compliant Company | Non-Compliant Company |
|---|---|
| Filings up to date, in good standing with ROC | Accumulating penalties for late/missed filings |
| Directors' DIN remains active | Risk of DIN deactivation for non-filing directors |
| Easier to raise funding or take loans | Harder to pass due diligence for investors/lenders |
| Lower risk of company being marked inactive | Risk of the company being struck off eventually |

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a dormant company still need to file annual compliance?
Yes, even companies with no business activity generally need to file annual returns and financial statements, though some relaxations may apply to dormant companies.
What are AOC-4 and MGT-7?
AOC-4 is the filing of financial statements, and MGT-7/MGT-7A is the annual return filing, both submitted to the Registrar of Companies each year.
What happens if annual filings are missed for several years?
Penalties accumulate over time, and the company risks being marked inactive or eventually struck off by the Registrar.
How many board meetings does a private limited company need each year?
The minimum number is set under the Companies Act and varies slightly by company type; our team confirms what applies to you.
Can Leegal help if my company has pending, overdue filings?
