Post-incorporation compliance is a critical hurdle for startups. Failure to file mandatory ROC forms can lead to disqualification of directors, heavy fines, and even strike-off of the company.
Mandatory Annual Compliances
Every private limited company, irrespective of its turnover or activity, must ensure these annual filings are completed within the prescribed timelines:
- ADT-1: Appointment of Statutory Auditor for a 5-year term.
- AOC-4: Filing of audited financial statements with the ROC.
- MGT-7: Filing of the annual return containing shareholding details.
- DIR-3 KYC: Annual KYC verification for all active directors.
Compliance is not a one-time event; it's a continuous process that builds trust with investors and lenders.
Event-Based Filings
Startups often undergo rapid changes like share capital increases, director appointments, or change in registered office. These require specific filings like SH-7, PAS-3, or DIR-12 within 30 days of the triggering event.
