MGT-7 Filing
Every company's annual return - shareholding, directors, meetings, debt - must reach the ROC within 60 days of the AGM. MGT-7 is built from your statutory registers, and it has to match them. We compile it, get it certified, and file it on time.

Overview
What MGT-7 is
MGT-7 is the annual return every company files with the Registrar of Companies under the Companies Act.
It is due within 60 days of the date of the Annual General Meeting.
It discloses shareholding patterns, directors and key managerial personnel, meetings held, and indebtedness as of the AGM date.
In most cases it requires certification by a practising CA, CS, or CMA before filing.
Benefits
Why companies file MGT-7 through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Built from your registers
Shareholding patterns, director details, meeting dates, indebtedness - MGT-7 pulls from your statutory registers. We compile from the registers so the return matches your records.
Aligned with AOC-4
The form must align with your filed AOC-4 financials and board report. We check the cross-references before filing.
60-day clock managed
AGM dates drive the MGT-7 deadline. We track your AGM and file within 60 days - with reminders, not surprises.
Late filings regularised
Missed the deadline? Per-day additional fees apply. We file the backlog and compute the exact exposure first.

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
MGT-7 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
Hold the AGM
The annual return is drawn up as on the date of the AGM. For most companies the AGM must be held within six months of the financial year end.
Compile the year's corporate data
We gather shareholding changes, director changes, meeting dates, and remuneration details for the full financial year.
Prepare Form MGT-7 (or MGT-7A)
Small companies and One Person Companies file the shorter MGT-7A; all others file MGT-7 with full disclosures.
Certification and signing
A practising company secretary certifies the form where required, and a director signs it with a DSC.
File within 60 days of the AGM
The annual return must reach the ROC within 60 days of the AGM. Missing this deadline triggers additional fees and counts toward director disqualification risk.
Confirm ROC approval
We monitor the SRN to confirmation, keeping the approved return in your statutory records.
