MGT-7 Due Date
MGT-7, the Annual Return, is due within 60 days of the AGM — for an AGM on 30 September 2026, that's 29 November 2026, a full month after AOC-4's own 30-day deadline for the same AGM.

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.

MGT-7 vs AOC-4 — two different clocks from the same AGM
Both AOC-4 and MGT-7 are triggered by the same AGM, but they run on different clocks: AOC-4 within 30 days, MGT-7 within 60 days. It's common practice — though not a legal requirement in itself — to file AOC-4 first, since MGT-7's annual return references figures that are cleaner to compile once the financial statements are already filed.
Because both dates move together whenever the AGM date changes, a company that reschedules its AGM earlier or later shifts both deadlines by the same amount — tracking them from a fixed calendar date rather than the actual AGM date is the most common source of missed or premature filings.
MGT-7 vs MGT-7A
MGT-7 is the standard annual return form. Small companies (paid-up capital ≤ ₹10 crore, turnover ≤ ₹100 crore) and One Person Companies file the abridged MGT-7A instead, with reduced disclosure requirements — but the same underlying due-date logic applies for small companies (60 days after the AGM), while OPCs, having no AGM, compute MGT-7A from the financial year end instead.
Re-checking eligibility for MGT-7A every year matters — a company that grows past the small-company thresholds mid-year needs to switch back to MGT-7 for that year's filing, and one that shrinks below them can switch the other way, rather than assuming last year's form choice still applies automatically.
