Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss an ROC filing deadline?
You pay Rs.100 per day of delay, per form, with no cap — a one-year delay on three forms costs over Rs.1,00,000. Directors can also face disqualification under Section 164(2) after three years of missed filings.
Do dormant companies need to file ROC returns?
Yes — dormant status reduces but does not eliminate filings. See the dormant-company requirements guide.
MGT-7 or MGT-7A — which one does my company file?
Small companies and OPCs file MGT-7A (abridged); everyone else files MGT-7. Full comparison here.
