ROC Annual Filing for a Section 8 Company

A Section 8 company follows the same AGM-relative filing logic as a private limited company — AOC-4 by 30 October 2026, MGT-7 by 29 November 2026 — the differences from a standard private company sit in licensing and objects compliance, not the core ROC filing dates.

Entity & dates

Entity type

Financial year end

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

What's the same as a private limited company

For the core annual filing calendar — AOC-4, MGT-7, ADT-1 where applicable, DPT-3 — a Section 8 company (a non-profit company licensed under Section 8 of the Companies Act) follows the identical AGM-relative and fixed-date structure as a standard private limited company. The AGM must still be held, and AOC-4/MGT-7/ADT-1 still cascade from that date exactly as they would for a for-profit private company.

Where the nuances actually live

Section 8 companies carry additional obligations outside the core ROC filing calendar that a generic private-company calendar wouldn't surface — restrictions on profit distribution, the Section 8 license conditions themselves (which can be revoked for non-compliance, a materially different risk from a standard company's penalty exposure), and, for those also registered under Section 12A/80G of the Income Tax Act, separate annual compliance obligations to the Income Tax department that run in parallel with, not instead of, the ROC calendar.

None of this changes the AOC-4/MGT-7 due-date math — it just means a Section 8 company's compliance checklist is a superset of the standard private-company one, not a variant of it. A CS tracking a Section 8 client purely off a standard private-company checklist will get every ROC date right and still miss the license-condition and Income Tax Act obligations sitting alongside them.
