Understanding Annual Compliance for Private Limited Companies — the set of yearly filings and requirements every private limited company must complete with the MCA — starts with knowing exactly what the process involves. Here's a step-by-step breakdown for every registered private limited company, active or dormant.
Step 1
Hold the required minimum number of board meetings.
Step 2
Get financial statements audited.
Step 3
File the annual return and financial statements with the MCA.
Step 4
Complete director KYC before the deadline.
Documents to Keep Ready
Before starting, it helps to have these ready so the process moves without unnecessary back-and-forth:
- Board meeting minutes through the year
- Audited financial statements
- Annual return (MGT-7) details
- Financial statement filing (AOC-4)
- Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC) completed
- Statutory registers maintained and updated
What to Watch Out For
Assuming a dormant company has no filing obligations — this is one of the most frequent slip-ups at this stage, so it's worth double-checking before you proceed.
