AOC-4 Due Date

AOC-4 is due within 30 days of the Annual General Meeting — for an AGM held on 30 September 2026, that's 30 October 2026. Missing it costs ₹100/day with no upper cap.

Company profile

Entity & dates

AOC-4, MGT-7 and ADT-1 all recompute from this date.

Applicable filings

ADT-1 is filed only when an auditor is appointed or re-appointed — typically once every five years, not at every AGM.

DPT-3 is filed by every company — including a nil return where there are no deposits or loans. Included by default; tick only to exclude it.

Event-based — 30 days from the resolution date, not annual.

Why the due date moves with your AGM

AOC-4 isn't a fixed calendar date — it's always 30 days after whichever date the AGM is actually held. Most companies hold their AGM by the statutory deadline of 30 September (within 6 months of the financial year end), which is why 30 October is commonly quoted as "the" AOC-4 date — but that figure is only correct for that specific AGM date. A company that holds its AGM on 15 August must file AOC-4 by 14 September, a full six weeks earlier than the commonly quoted date.

This is the single most common mistake in ROC compliance tracking: treating AOC-4 as a fixed annual date rather than recomputing it from the actual AGM date each year, especially when the AGM is held earlier than the statutory deadline or after an approved extension.

The ₹100/day penalty, with a worked example

AOC-4 filed 78 days late costs ₹7,800 in additional fees alone — ₹100 for every day of delay, with no upper cap, effective from 1 July 2018. This is separate from any professional fees for preparing the filing and separate from prosecution risk under the Companies Act for prolonged non-compliance.

The uncapped structure means the cost of catching a missed AOC-4 filing scales directly with how long it goes unnoticed — a delay caught within a week costs a few hundred rupees; a delay caught after a year costs upwards of ₹36,500, before any other consequence.
