ROC Compliance Calendar 2025-2026 (Private Limited Company)

ClearTax Free Beginner India

This is the exact calendar of the boring recurring filings that quietly strike off companies: AOC-4 (annual accounts, Oct 30), MGT-7 (annual return, Nov 29), DIR-3 KYC (director KYC, Sep 30, skip it and your DIN is deactivated with a flat Rs 5,000 fine), DPT-3 (Jun 30), ADT-1 auditor filing, plus the AGM window. Copy every date here into your calendar and you have covered the ROC half of what actually bites.

  • AOC-4 and MGT-7 carry Rs 100/day penalties with no cap, so a missed filing compounds silently until it is large
  • DIR-3 KYC missed by Sep 30 deactivates your DIN and costs a flat Rs 5,000 to reactivate
  • Miss annual filings for three consecutive years and the MCA auto-disqualifies directors under Section 164(2)
