Frequently Asked Questions — Corporate Compliance

What are the annual compliance requirements for a Pvt Ltd?

Annual compliance includes: filing MGT-7 (annual return) within 60 days of AGM, AOC-4 (financial statements) within 30 days of AGM, DIR-3 KYC for all directors, holding AGM within 6 months of financial year end, and maintaining statutory registers. Non-compliance attracts penalties of Rs 100 per day.

What happens if I do not file ROC returns?

Non-filing of ROC returns attracts a penalty of Rs 100 per day of default under the Companies Act 2013, with no maximum limit. The company may be struck off from the register after continuous default. Directors may be disqualified and barred from directorship for 5 years.

When is a board meeting required?

A Private Limited Company must hold at least 4 board meetings per year, with a maximum gap of 120 days between meetings. One Person Companies and small companies need only 2 meetings per year. Board meetings are required for major decisions like financials, contracts, and director changes.

What is Director KYC and is it mandatory?

Director KYC (DIR-3 KYC) is mandatory for all directors with DIN. It must be filed annually by 30th September. Non-filing results in DIN deactivation, preventing the director from filing any company documents. Reactivation requires filing with a late fee of Rs 5,000.

What is FEMA compliance for FDI?

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India requires FEMA compliance, including reporting to RBI (FC-GPR for share issuance, FC-TRS for transfer), complying with sectoral caps and entry routes (automatic vs government approval), and ensuring compliance with pricing guidelines. Non-compliance can attract penalties under FEMA.
