AGM Due Date for a Private Limited Company

A private limited company must hold its AGM within 6 months of the financial year end — by 1 October 2026 for a standard 31 March year end — or within 9 months of the first financial year end for the company's very first AGM.

The rule itself, and why it matters beyond the AGM date

Section 96 sets the AGM deadline at 6 months from the financial year end — 1 October 2026 for a company with a standard 31 March year end. This date matters far beyond the AGM itself: it's the anchor that AOC-4, MGT-7 and (where applicable) ADT-1 are all computed from, so getting it right is the single highest-leverage date in a private limited company's entire ROC calendar.

An extension of up to 3 months is available on application to the ROC, but it extends only the AGM deadline itself — the downstream filing windows still run from whatever date the AGM is actually held, extended or not.

The first-AGM exception

A company's very first AGM gets a longer runway — 9 months from the end of its first financial year, rather than the standard 6. This exists because a newly incorporated company's first financial year can itself run longer than 12 months (up to 15 months in some cases), and the extra 3 months on the AGM gives it realistic time to close its first set of accounts.

This is a one-time exception, not a permanent feature of the company's calendar — every AGM after the first reverts to the standard 6-month rule, computed fresh from that year's own financial year end.
