What could go wrong with MCA Annual
AGM not held on time
- AGM must be held by September 30 (March year-end companies).
- AOC-4 due within 30 days of AGM. MGT-7 within 60 days.
- If AGM delayed, both deadlines shift - Ollvy CS calculates new dates.
Audit not complete
- AOC-4 requires signed, audited financial statements - cannot file without them.
- Plan your audit timeline to allow filing before the MCA deadline.
- Ollvy CS coordinates timing with your auditor if needed.
Late fee: Rs. 200/day, no ceiling
- Additional fee: Rs. 100/day per form from due date. Both overdue = Rs. 200/day.
- 6 months default = Rs. 36,000 in penalties alone.
- After 3 years, directors disqualified under Section 164(2). Company can be struck off after 2 years.

They caught something from last year we had not reported. Sorted before it became a problem.
