AOC-4 Filing
Every company must file its adopted financial statements with the Registrar within 30 days of the AGM. AOC-4 is the form — and it's the filing the MCA watches most closely. We prepare it with the complete attachment set and file it within the window.

Overview
What AOC-4 actually is
Form AOC-4 files the company's financial statements with the Registrar under Section 137 of the Companies Act.
The deadline is 30 days from the AGM at which the financials are adopted — one of the tightest MCA timelines.
It carries the balance sheet, profit and loss account, auditor's report, board's report and notes to accounts.
Companies meeting prescribed thresholds file in XBRL format; companies with subsidiaries file consolidated statements via AOC-4 CFS.
Delays attract additional fees per day — among the steepest on the MCA portal.
Benefits
Why companies file AOC-4 through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Filed within the 30-day window
Thirty days from the AGM is a short window for signed financials. We start early so the filing lands on time.
Complete financial statements
Balance sheet, P&L, auditor's report, board report — we check the full attachment set before filing.
XBRL handled where needed
Certain companies must file in XBRL. We identify whether yours is one and handle the conversion.
No late fees
Late filings attract daily additional fees. On-time filing is the cheapest option, every year.
Documents
Documents required for AOC-4 filing
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
AOC-4 filing process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 6
Finalise and audit the accounts
The statutory auditor completes the audit and signs the financial statements. The board then approves them before they go to shareholders.
Adoption at the AGM
Shareholders adopt the audited financial statements at the Annual General Meeting. The AGM date starts the 30-day filing clock.
Prepare Form AOC-4
We compile the balance sheet, P&L, auditor's report, and board's report into the AOC-4 e-form, with all mandatory annexures.
Certification and DSC signing
A practising CA, CS, or cost accountant certifies the form, and a director signs it with a DSC.
File within 30 days of the AGM
AOC-4 must be filed with the ROC within 30 days of the AGM. Delay draws additional fees per day of default, so the AGM date drives the whole timeline.
Track approval on the MCA portal
We track the SRN until the ROC approves the filing, and flag any resubmission the ROC asks for.

For NRI founders & foreign investors
If a founder or investor is outside India
You don't need to fly down. Most of our foreign-founder incorporations are completed without the founder ever visiting India — 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors, and the entire process happens online.
Before you start
- 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors — no Indian partner needed
- One Indian resident director is required by law — we help you find a compliant way forward
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Your passport + address proof need an apostille, not an embassy visit
- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing early
After incorporation

- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting (FC-GPR, FLA) and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early

Additional fees accrue per day of delay — and they compound quickly on a filing this central. It's the most expensive MCA form to file late.
Companies meeting the prescribed thresholds file in XBRL format. We check whether yours qualifies and handle the tagging.
Yes — where the company has subsidiaries or associates, consolidated financial statements are filed through AOC-4 CFS.
