The shortest of the three AGM-relative windows
ADT-1 is due just 15 days after the AGM — the shortest window of the three forms this AGM triggers — which makes it the easiest to miss in the scramble immediately after the meeting. A filing due 15 October 2026 and made 24 November 2026 accrues ₹4,000 at the same ₹100/day, no-cap rate as AOC-4 and MGT-7.
Unlike AOC-4 and MGT-7, ADT-1 doesn't apply at every AGM — it's triggered only in the year an auditor is actually appointed or reappointed, which under the standard five-year appointment cycle means most AGMs have no ADT-1 obligation at all.
Confirm the trigger before assuming a penalty
Before computing an ADT-1 penalty, confirm the auditor was actually appointed or reappointed at that specific AGM — a company well inside its five-year appointment cycle simply has no ADT-1 due for that year, and no penalty follows from a filing that was never required.
Where ADT-1 genuinely is overdue alongside AOC-4 and MGT-7 for the same year, all three add together for that year's total exposure — the multi-year calculator below can select all three forms together across the applicable years.
