Introduction Running a Private Limited Company in India comes with several regulatory responsibilities. One of the most important among them is fulfilling your annual compliance obligations with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Whether your company is actively operating or not, these filings are mandatory to keep your company in good legal standing.
This blog provides a detailed checklist of annual compliances required in 2025 for all private limited companies in India.
1. Annual Return (Form MGT-7) This form captures the company’s general information, including its shareholding pattern, directors, and registered office. Every private limited company must file this form within 60 days from the date of its Annual General Meeting (AGM).
2. Financial Statements (Form AOC-4) This includes the company’s Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss Account, Auditor’s Report, and other financial statements. It must be filed within 30 days from the date of AGM.
3. Director KYC (Form DIR-3 KYC) Each director who has a Director Identification Number (DIN) must file their KYC every year. Non-filing leads to DIN deactivation.
4. Auditor Appointment (Form ADT-1) Filed within 15 days of the AGM, this form is required to notify the MCA about the appointment or reappointment of the company’s statutory auditor.
5. Income Tax Return (ITR-6) Apart from MCA filings, every company must file its Income Tax Return annually by 31st October 2025 (subject to changes by CBDT).
Consequences of Non-Compliance
- Penalty of ₹100/day per form with no upper limit
- Disqualification of directors
- Legal action and even company strike-off by MCA
