Annual Compliance Checklist for Private Limited Companies

Incorporation is just the beginning - staying compliant is an ongoing responsibility. Here's what to track through the year.

MCA filings

Every company must file its annual return (Form MGT-7) and financial statements (Form AOC-4) with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, along with holding the required number of board meetings and an Annual General Meeting.

Income tax

Companies must file an income tax return annually, and many are also subject to advance tax payments through the year and a statutory audit once turnover crosses the applicable threshold.

Staying on schedule

Missing a filing deadline can mean late fees and, in some cases, director disqualification. A shared compliance calendar - like the one in your BharatBizs dashboard - is the simplest way to stay ahead of every date.
