Understanding the service
AOC-4 is used for filing company financial statements in the appropriate form variant. Approved accounts, audit records and meeting details need to be consistent.
Use the approved accounts
Confirm the correct form variant and assemble the financial statements, auditor report and relevant approvals. Check the company identifiers, reporting period and meeting dates across the file. A mismatch between signed accounts and filing attachments can create avoidable follow-up work.
Review before authorised submission
Reconcile the values used in the form with the approved statements and relevant schedules. Keep the final attachments and acknowledgement together. If accounts are not yet approved or an earlier period is pending, resolve that status rather than submitting provisional numbers as final.
Preparation checklist
Use this as a starting file, not a universal eligibility decision. ACS confirms the final checklist against your actual entity, activity and reporting period.
- CIN, company registration and authorised-signatory records
- Approved accounts, audit records and relevant schedules
- Meeting dates, resolutions and appointment or ownership particulars
- Previous filings and relevant acknowledgements
Keep originals and final versions distinguishable. Record missing information before submission and use the agreed private channel for sensitive evidence.

Frequently asked questions
Is AOC-4 the same as the company income-tax return?
No. Financial-statement filing and the tax return are separate obligations with different content and routes.
Does the preparation fee include audit of the accounts?
No automatic inclusion. Audit and any pending-period work need an agreed scope.
What does the listed professional fee include?
The ACS fee covers only the work confirmed in your quote. Government fees, taxes, provider or certification-body charges and additional professional work are separate unless expressly included. Booking does not activate an online payment.
What should I share for the first discussion?
Start with your requirement and the relevant period or project. The callback form needs only your name and mobile number. Share identity, banking or financial documents only through the agreed private workflow.
