Every scenario, explained
Answer-first pages for each form, each multi-year default scenario, and each consequence — each with the calculator pre-filled.
By form
- AOC-4₹100/day, no cap, computed from your actual AGM date
- MGT-7Annual Return — same ₹100/day structure as AOC-4, on its own 60-day clock
- ADT-1Due 15 days after the AGM — only when an auditor is appointed or reappointed
- LLP Form 11Annual Return, due 30 May every year — fixed date, no AGM
- LLP Form 8Statement of account and solvency, due 30 October every year
- AOC-4 vs MGT-7Different documents, different due-date windows, same AGM
Multi-year default
- 3 YearsThe exact threshold for director disqualification under Section 164(2)(a)
- 2 YearsStrike-off risk under Section 248 — one year short of disqualification
- 5 YearsWell past the disqualification threshold — the total that opens the conversation
- ROC Penalty for Multiple Years & FormsHow to add up exposure across an entire filing backlog at once
- How to Regularise a Defaulting Company's ROC FilingsThe sequence: quantify, check consequences, then file
Consequences
- Section 164(2) Director DisqualificationThree consecutive years of default — a five-year bar for every director
- How to Check If a Director Is DisqualifiedConfirm DIN status on the MCA portal before relying on any assumption
- Company Strike-Off for Non-Filing Under Section 248Two consecutive years of default — restorable only through NCLT
- Director Disqualification RemedyRegularisation, condonation schemes, and legal remedies — confirm specifics with a CS
- ROC Penalty Has No Upper CapUnlike GST late fees, there is no ceiling — ever
- Director Disqualification After 3 Years of Non-FilingThe exact, inclusive threshold — three years, not two, not four
- Does Paying the ROC Penalty Remove Disqualification?No — this is the misconception that costs directors five years

Why the MCA portal, and a single-filing estimate, understates real exposure
The MCA portal totals one filing at a time — check AOC-4 for one year, then MGT-7, then the next year, one form and one screen at a time. This calculator adds up every year and form you select together, in one pass, and checks the multi-year consequences a single filing can't surface.
A company that hasn't filed AOC-4 and MGT-7 for four consecutive years doesn't have one penalty — it has eight rows of accruing ₹100/day fees, computed from eight different AGM-relative due dates, and a live risk that every director has already crossed the three-year disqualification threshold under Section 164(2).
This calculator computes every FY × form combination at once, from each year's own AGM date (not a single assumed date), and totals the confirmed exposure — while explicitly excluding any form whose penalty rule isn't confirmed to a quotable standard, rather than guessing.
The finding that matters more than the total
A large total is a cost. A disqualification or strike-off finding is a different category of consequence entirely — it changes what the client can and can't do, independent of any amount paid. Three consecutive years of AOC-4/MGT-7 default disqualifies every director of that company for five years under Section 164(2); two consecutive years exposes the company itself to strike-off under Section 248. This calculator checks for both automatically and surfaces them immediately beneath the total, not as a footnote.
What's excluded, and why
DPT-3 and MSME-1 penalty computations are not confirmed to the standard this tool holds for a client-facing figure, so they're shown with a due date and status but excluded from the grand total — marked 'confirm amount' rather than given a fabricated number. Any MCA settlement or amnesty scheme that might reduce the total is flagged for a manual check rather than assumed.
