In simple terms
A private limited company has continuing obligations after incorporation, even when business activity is limited. Start with the company records and financial year, then review annual filings and any changes made during the year.
The annual ROC package and the individual form prices are alternative ways to scope work, not charges to add together automatically. Audit, tax, government fees and event-based work must be expressly included in the quote.
Your compliance checklist
Governance and statutory records
Throughout the yearKeep company registers, ownership records and board / member decisions current.
Books, financial statements and statutory audit
For each financial yearMaintain accounts and arrange the required company audit with the appointed qualified auditor.
Company financial-statement filing
After the relevant approval and meetingPrepare the applicable AOC-4 form and supporting approved records.
Company annual return
For the relevant financial yearCheck the appropriate MGT-7 or MGT-7A variant and reconcile company particulars.
Director and auditor records
Annual review or appointment eventCheck director KYC status and auditor-appointment filing requirements.
Financial and event-based forms
Where a balance or event makes them applicableReview DPT-3, commencement declarations, changes in directors, office, capital or ownership. Not every form applies every year.
Company tax return
For the relevant reporting yearReconcile the accounts and tax computation, then select the applicable company-return route.
GST, TDS and payroll
Only where applicableCheck transaction and employment-related obligations separately from ROC filings.

Records to keep ready
- CIN, incorporation records, PAN and current company particulars
- Director KYC, shareholding and authorised-signatory records
- Approved accounts, audit report and supporting schedules
- Meeting dates, resolutions and prior filing acknowledgements
- Tax, GST and payroll records where applicable
Practical benefits
- A clearer annual filing and audit work plan.
- Consistent company information for banks, shareholders and customers.
- Early identification of event-based work instead of treating every form as annual.
A manageable next step
Share your entity type, reporting year, registration orders and previous filings. ACS can review the missing records, identify relevant tasks and confirm a written scope and fee before work starts.
If work is overdue, we review it first and explain any applicable additional charges. Do not assume a penalty waiver or an all-inclusive package.
