What are the due dates for AOC-4 and MGT-7 for a private limited company?

Both are counted from the date of the annual general meeting (AGM). AOC-4 (financial statements) is due within 30 days of the AGM, and MGT-7 (annual return) within 60 days of the AGM.

For a financial year ending 31 March, the AGM must be held by 30 September, which usually makes AOC-4 due around 30 October and MGT-7 around 29 November. Small companies and One Person Companies file the abridged annual return (MGT-7A), and a One Person Company has its own timeline for AOC-4. Filing after the due date attracts additional fees per day of delay, so check the current fee on the MCA portal.
