MCA Annual Filing Penalty Calculator (AOC-4 & MGT-7)

Calculate exact penalties, interest, and late fees based on Indian compliance law

Every Private Limited company must file two annual returns with the Registrar of Companies: AOC-4 (financial statements) within 30 days of the AGM, and MGT-7 (annual return) within 60 days of the AGM. The AGM itself must be held by September 30 for companies with a March financial year-end.

Missing these deadlines triggers additional MCA fees that scale with how late you are. Up to 30 days late: 2x the normal filing fee. 30-60 days: 4x. 60-90 days: 6x. 90-180 days: 10x. Above 180 days: 12x the normal fee. This is on top of the standard filing fee, not instead of it.

Beyond the financial cost, sustained non-filing has serious consequences. A company that does not file for 3 consecutive financial years can be struck off by the Registrar under Section 248 of the Companies Act. Directors are disqualified under Section 164(2) after 3 consecutive years of non-filing. Every director of such a company is disqualified under Section 164(2) of the Companies Act from holding any directorship for 5 years - across all companies, not just the defaulting one.

This calculator helps you see the additional fee exposure for both forms so you can file immediately and stop the penalty from growing.

How to Use This Calculator

How the fee is calculated:

Enter your AGM date and the number of days late for each form. The calculator applies the MCA additional fee multiplier based on your delay period.

Both forms must be filed:

AOC-4 and MGT-7 are separate filings with separate fees. The calculator shows both. Filing one without the other still leaves you in default.

Audit must be done first:

AOC-4 requires signed, audited financial statements. If your audit is not complete, that is the bottleneck - not the MCA filing itself.

After calculating:

File immediately. Every additional day adds to the fee multiplier once you cross a threshold.

Frequently Asked Questions

AOC-4 (financial statements) is due within 30 days of the AGM. MGT-7 (annual return) is due within 60 days of the AGM. For companies with a March financial year-end, the AGM must be held by September 30, making AOC-4 due by October 30 and MGT-7 by November 29.

The MCA charges an additional fee on top of the normal filing fee based on delay period: 2x (up to 30 days late), 4x (30-60 days), 6x (60-90 days), 10x (90-180 days), 12x (above 180 days). Both AOC-4 and MGT-7 have separate fees.

The Registrar of Companies can strike off the company under Section 248 of the Companies Act. Every director is also disqualified under Section 164(2) from holding any directorship for 5 years across all companies. Restoring a struck-off company requires an NCLT petition - expensive and slow.

No. LLPs file different forms: Form 8 (Statement of Account and Solvency, due October 30) and Form 11 (Annual Return, due May 30). AOC-4 and MGT-7 are specific to Private Limited and Public Limited companies.

No. AOC-4 requires the signed, audited Balance Sheet and P&L. If your auditor has not signed off, you cannot file. Plan your audit timeline to ensure completion well before the AGM filing deadline.
