Detailed Overview
The Shield Protecting Your Corporate Identity
Incorporating a Private Limited Company or an LLP gives you massive legal protections, but in exchange, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) demands strict transparency through Annual ROC Compliances. These are mandatory filings that every company must execute, irrespective of whether the business made a massive profit, suffered a loss, or had absolutely zero transactions during the year. Under the Companies Act, 2013, maintaining minutes of board meetings, updating statutory registers, and filing annual financial reports are non-negotiable legal duties of the Directors.
Failure to file forms like AOC-4 (Financial Statements) and MGT-7 (Annual Return) triggers catastrophic consequences. The MCA levies an automated, un-waivable late fee of ₹100 per day per form. Prolonged default leads to the company being marked as 'Strike Off', the directors being legally disqualified for 5 years, and their DINs being deactivated. Our dedicated secretarial team acts as your virtual compliance department, tracking every deadline and ensuring your company remains in perfect standing with the government.
At GST Times, we take the legal complexity out of the picture. Our system reviews your files, coordinates with government registrars, handles all clarifications, and delivers your certificate securely to your dashboard online.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Got doubts? Here are direct answers from our expert Chartered Accountants:
Is Annual Compliance mandatory if my company had zero business?
Yes! Even if your Private Limited Company or LLP did not have a single rupee of transaction, filing "Nil" returns (AOC-4 and MGT-7) and conducting the AGM is legally mandatory.
What is Form ADT-1?
Form ADT-1 is the formal intimation to the ROC about the appointment of your Statutory Auditor. It must be filed within 15 days of the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
What happens if we do not file ROC returns?
You will be charged ₹100 per day per form as a late fee (no upper limit). Eventually, the ROC will issue a show-cause notice, strike off the company, and disqualify the directors.
