Companies Act Annual Filing Due Date Calculator

Q: What is the deadline for filing AOC-4 after the AGM?

Within 30 days of the AGM — AOC-4 files the company's financial statements with the Registrar of Companies.

Q: What is the difference between MGT-7 and MGT-7A?

MGT-7 is the standard annual return form. MGT-7A is a simplified version specifically for small companies and OPCs, reflecting their reduced compliance burden — both are due within 60 days of the AGM.

Calculate annual filing dates

Use the MCA portal’s notified form version and any year-specific extension circular.

How This Is Calculated

Following the AGM, Form AOC-4 (financial statements) is due within 30 days, and Form MGT-7 or MGT-7A (annual return, with MGT-7A being the simplified version for small companies/OPCs) is due within 60 days of the AGM.

Primary sources & verification — Calculator boundary control

Reviewed: 22 August 2026.

Do not treat the calculator result as a universal filing deadline. Companies Act forms can depend on the AGM date, company type, event, extensions/relaxations, revised MCA forms and special filings. The calculator logic must remain untouched in this batch; use this module to display assumptions and route exceptions to current MCA guidance.

Practical verification checklist

Confirm AGM/financial-year inputs.
Check whether a special class/exemption or MCA relaxation applies.
Retain SRN and filed-form version.

Methodology, assumptions and sources

Scope: Computes the due dates for mandatory Companies Act annual filings — AOC-4 (financial statements) and MGT-7/MGT-7A (annual return) — based on the AGM date.

Calculation logic

AOC-4 (financial statements): due within 30 days from the date of the AGM (or from the due date of the AGM, where the AGM itself was not held, per the specific provision addressing that scenario).

MGT-7 (annual return, for companies other than small companies/OPCs) or MGT-7A (abridged annual return, for small companies and One Person Companies): due within 60 days from the date of the AGM (or from the due date of the AGM if not held).

Where the AGM extension route (Section 96) has been used, the filing due dates for AOC-4/MGT-7 are computed from the extended AGM date, not the original statutory due date — the calculator applies this dependency where an AGM extension has been obtained.

Inputs and assumptions

30-day and 60-day windows (from the AGM date) follow the current Companies Act filing provisions and MCA rules.

One Person Companies (OPCs) do not hold an AGM in the traditional sense (they have specific relaxed provisions) — the calculator applies the OPC-specific due-date convention (computed from the financial year end rather than an AGM date) where OPC status is selected.

Exclusions and edge cases

Additional late-filing fee (per day of delay) applies for filings made after the due date, per the current MCA additional-fee schedule — this calculator computes the due date, not the resulting late fee, which follows a separate fee-schedule computation.

XBRL-format filing (for companies meeting XBRL applicability thresholds) has the same due-date framework but an additional format-compliance requirement — see the XBRL Filing Applicability Checker for that separate determination.
