ROC Compliance Services
Proactive compliance management aligned with the evolving Companies Act landscape — stay ahead of deadlines and penalties.
What is ROC compliance?
Every registered company and LLP must file periodic returns and maintain statutory records with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Missing these deadlines attracts steep additional fees and can lead to director disqualification or company strike-off. For current rules and procedures, see the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss an ROC filing deadline?
Late filing attracts an additional fee that can run up to several times the normal fee depending on the delay, and prolonged non-compliance can lead to director disqualification or the company being struck off by the ROC.
Which ROC filings are mandatory every year?
At minimum, AOC-4 (financial statements), MGT-7/7A (annual return), and DIR-3 KYC for each director must be filed annually, alongside audited accounts.
Do LLPs also have ROC compliance requirements?
Yes — LLPs file Form 11 (Annual Return) and Form 8 (Statement of Accounts) annually, with different due dates from companies.
Can you fix past non-compliance?
Yes, we conduct a compliance health check, identify pending filings, and regularise them through the MCA's condonation and late-filing mechanisms where available.
