ROC Annual Filing Checklist

A private limited company's annual ROC checklist runs, in order: hold the AGM, file ADT-1 within 15 days (if an auditor was appointed/reappointed), AOC-4 within 30 days (30 October 2026), MGT-7 within 60 days (29 November 2026), plus the fixed-date DPT-3 (30 June) alongside.

AGM date (held or planned)

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

Is this the company's first AGM? (extends the statutory limit to 9 months)

Applicable filings

Auditor appointment / re-appointment due at the ensuing AGM (→ ADT-1)

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

DPT-3 not applicable to this company

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.

Payments to MSME vendors outstanding beyond 45 days (→ MSME-1)

AOC-4 XBRL applicable (listed / subsidiary / paid-up ≥ ₹5cr / turnover ≥ ₹100cr)

Passed a board/special resolution requiring MGT-14

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

Incorporated recently — INC-20A not yet filed

The checklist, in the order it actually happens

1. Hold the AGM within 6 months of the financial year end (9 months for a first AGM). 2. If an auditor was appointed or reappointed at that AGM, file ADT-1 within 15 days — the tightest window of the set. 3. File AOC-4 within 30 days of the AGM. 4. File MGT-7 (or MGT-7A for a small company) within 60 days of the AGM. 5. File DPT-3 by 30 June, independent of the AGM date — most companies file this even at nil. 6. If applicable, file MSME-1 for the relevant half-year and MGT-14 for any qualifying resolution.

This calculator computes every one of these dates live from your actual AGM date and entity type, rather than a generic list — the checklist above is illustrative of the sequence, but the calculator's own output is what should actually be tracked and, ideally, exported as a branded PDF for the client file.

Why order matters here

AOC-4 is conventionally filed before MGT-7, since MGT-7's annual return figures are easier to compile once the financial statements are already filed — not a strict legal requirement, but a practical sequencing that avoids redoing work. ADT-1, with its 15-day window, is easy to lose track of amid the AGM's other paperwork if it isn't built into the same-day checklist for the meeting itself.
