Company Not Filed ROC for 2 Years — What It Costs
A company that hasn't filed AOC-4 and MGT-7 for 2 consecutive years faces roughly ₹51,200 in accrued penalties and exposes itself to strike-off under Section 248 — one more unfiled year away from director disqualification under Section 164(2).

Two years triggers strike-off exposure, not yet disqualification
Two consecutive financial years of non-filing is the threshold at which the ROC may strike a company off the register under Section 248, restorable only through an NCLT application — a materially harder-to-reverse outcome than the accruing fee itself. At today's date, 2 years of unfiled AOC-4/MGT-7 (4 rows: 2 forms × 2 years) accrues roughly ₹51,200.
Director disqualification under Section 164(2) requires a third consecutive year — a company at exactly 2 years of default is not yet disqualified, but is one missed filing season away from crossing that threshold. This is the point at which regularising the filings, rather than waiting, materially changes the outcome for the directors personally.
Why the second year is the point to act
The gap between strike-off exposure (year 2) and director disqualification (year 3) is a single filing season — for a CS or CA managing a client's compliance, a company sitting at 2 years of default should be treated with the same urgency as one already at year 3, since the window to act before the third year closes is short and entirely within the client's control.
Regularising a 2-year default before it becomes a 3-year default avoids the director-level consequence entirely, even though the accrued ₹100/day fee for the 2 years already in default still has to be paid regardless of when the remaining filings are made.
