Compliance involves adhering to rules, regulations, and legal requirements. For companies registered under the Companies Act, 2013, fulfilling obligations with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) is a legal necessity — regardless of turnover or paid-up capital.
Types of Compliance:
• ROC Compliance: Statutory filings required by the Registrar of Companies.
• Non-ROC Compliance: Obligations beyond the Registrar’s purview, such as taxation and labor law compliance.
These include all filings and formalities mandated by the RoC and Companies Act. Adhering to these ensures good corporate governance and protects your business from penalties.
Types of ROC Compliance:
1. Annual Compliance
Yearly filings and disclosures including:
• INC-20A: Declaration for Commencement of Business (to be filed within 180 days of incorporation).
• Appointment of Auditor (ADT-1): To be filed within 15 days of AGM.
• Board Meetings: At least 4 per year; first within 30 days of incorporation.
• Annual General Meeting (AGM): First AGM within 9 months of financial year-end; subsequent AGMs within 6 months of financial year-end.
• AOC-4: Filing financial statements (within 30 days of AGM).
• MGT-7: Filing annual returns (within 60 days of AGM).
• DIR-12: Reporting director appointments/resignations.
• DIR-3 KYC: KYC for directors with an active DIN by 30th September.
• DPT-3: Reporting deposits and specified transactions by 30th June annually.
• Directors’ Report: Prepared and signed as per Section 134.
• Statutory Registers: Must be properly maintained at registered office.
• Circulation of Financials: Sent to shareholders 21 days before AGM.
2. Event-Based Compliance
Triggered by changes in company structure or operations, such as:
• Changes in share capital or ownership
• Appointment of directors or KMPs
• Loans to/from directors or other companies
• Bank account updates

Each event requires the relevant form to be filed with the RoC within a specific timeframe.
