ROC Filing Due Dates 2025-26: Annual Compliance Calendar for Companies and LLPs
Staying on top of ROC filing deadlines is the single most important thing a company or LLP director can do to avoid penalties. A missed filing of MGT-7 or AOC-4 attracts a late fee of ₹100 per day per form — with no ceiling. This compliance calendar covers every key ROC due date for FY 2025-26 and explains what happens when you miss them.
Key Takeaways
- MGT-7 is due 60 days after the AGM; AOC-4 is due 30 days after the AGM.
- AGM must be held by September 30 for companies with March FY-end.

| 90 days | ₹9,000 | ₹18,000 |

- Year 3: Directors become disqualified under Section 164(2) of the Companies Act; they cannot be appointed as director in any company for 5 years
- Year 2+ (ROC action): The ROC may issue a strike-off notice under Section 248
- After strike-off: Company cannot legally operate; bank accounts may be frozen
