If your private limited company held its annual general meeting (AGM) on or before 30 September 2026, two ROC deadlines are now close: AOC-4 (financial statements) within 30 days of the AGM, and MGT-7 or MGT-7A (annual return) within 60 days. LLPs have Form 8 due by 30 October.
Due dates if your AGM was on 30 September 2026
| Filing | Who files | Due by |
|---|---|---|
| ADT-1 (auditor appointment) | Companies appointing an auditor at the AGM | 15 October 2026 |
| AOC-4 (financial statements) | Private limited companies | 30 October 2026 |
| Form 8 (statement of account and solvency) | LLPs | 30 October 2026 |
| MGT-7 / MGT-7A (annual return) | Companies (MGT-7A for small companies and OPCs) | 29 November 2026 |
If your AGM was earlier, count 30 days (AOC-4) and 60 days (MGT-7) from the AGM date. One Person Companies don't hold an AGM: they file AOC-4 within 180 days of the year end, and MGT-7A within 60 days of the date the AGM would have been due.
What late filing costs
Each form filed late attracts an additional fee of ₹100 for every day of delay. A company that misses its filings for three years in a row can see its directors disqualified. MCA extended the deadline for FY 2024-25 last year, but at the time of writing (October 2026) no extension has been announced for FY 2025-26, so plan to file on time.
