What are Annual Compliances for a Private Limited Company?

Every Private Limited Company registered under the Companies Act, 2013 must fulfil a set of mandatory annual compliances irrespective of turnover or activity. These include filing the Annual Return (MGT-7) and Financial Statements (AOC-4) with the Registrar of Companies (ROC), conducting at least four Board Meetings per year, maintaining statutory registers, and getting accounts audited by a qualified Chartered Accountant. Non-compliance attracts heavy penalties under Section 137 and Section 92 of the Companies Act — ₹100 per day per form with no upper cap. For small companies and OPCs, the condensed MGT-7A form applies instead. Timely compliance also protects directors from disqualification under Section 164(2) of the Act.
