Pro Tip: Set reminders 30 days before each deadline. Most penalties are triggered on the filing due date, not at the end of a grace period. Starting document collection in April prevents the October rush that causes most missed deadlines.
Our compliance calendar tracks every due date and sends you alerts 30, 15, and 7 days in advance.

Cumulative Impact: One full year of total non-compliance across all filings can accumulate ₹1.5 lakh to ₹3 lakh or more in penalties. Compare this to IncorpX's ₹2,999 compliance fee.
Warning: Under Section 164(2), directors of companies that default on annual filings for 3 consecutive years face automatic disqualification for 5 years from holding directorship in ANY company. Companies that fail to file for 2 consecutive years risk being struck off from the MCA register.
₹2,999 compliance vs ₹73,000+ in penalties. The maths is clear.
Annual Compliance Cost for Private Limited Company in Gandhinagar (2026)

Price Anchor: For companies with authorized capital up to ₹1 lakh, total government fees for AOC-4 + MGT-7 + DIR-3 KYC are just ₹400. Combined with IncorpX's ₹2,999 basic package, your total annual compliance cost is ₹3,399. Compare this to ₹73,000+ in potential penalties for non-filing.
How We Handle Your Pvt Ltd Compliance (Step-by-Step)
Our compliance process follows 8 defined steps spanning April to December. Total professional fee starts at ₹2,999 per year. Each step has a specific timeline and deliverable.
Step 1: Collect Financial Records and Documents
We gather all financial statements, bank statements, invoices, and statutory registers from the previous financial year. Our team reviews books of accounts maintained under Section 128 and flags any gaps or missing records early in the cycle.
Portal: Internal | Time: 2 to 3 working days
Step 2: Complete Statutory Audit
Your appointed Chartered Accountant reviews all financial records, verifies transactions, and issues the statutory audit report with a unique UDIN. If auditor appointment or reappointment is due, we prepare and file Form ADT-1 with the ROC within 15 days of the AGM under Section 139.
Portal: ICAI UDIN Portal | Time: 5 to 10 working days
Step 3: Conduct Board Meetings and AGM
We ensure all 4 mandatory board meetings are conducted with no gap exceeding 120 days (Section 173). We hold the Annual General Meeting by September 30 with a 21-day advance notice under Section 96. All minutes, resolutions, and MBP-1 disclosures are prepared and filed.
Portal: Internal records | Time: 1 to 2 working days
Step 4: File DIR-3 KYC for All Directors
We file DIR-3 KYC on the MCA V3 portal for every director by the September 30 deadline. Existing DIN holders with no changes use the web-based KYC option. Late filing attracts a ₹5,000 penalty per director and DIN deactivation, blocking all future MCA filings.
We submit Form AOC-4 with audited balance sheet, P&L, directors report, and auditors report to the ROC within 30 days of the AGM (typically by October 29). Government fee ranges from ₹200 to ₹600 based on authorized capital slab.
Portal: MCA V3 | Form: AOC-4 | Time: 3 to 5 working days
Step 6: File MGT-7 (Annual Return)
We file Form MGT-7 or MGT-7A (for small companies) containing shareholder, director, and meeting details within 60 days of the AGM (typically by November 28).
Portal: MCA V3 | Form: MGT-7/MGT-7A | Time: 3 to 5 working days
Step 7: File Income Tax Return (ITR-6) and TDS Returns
We file ITR-6 with the Income Tax Department by October 31 and quarterly TDS returns (Form 24Q for salaries, Form 26Q for non-salary payments) by the respective quarterly deadlines. Late ITR attracts ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 penalty plus interest under Section 234A/B/C.
We file GSTR-9 annual GST return by December 31 for GST-registered companies. This includes reconciling GST data with audited financials and monthly GSTR-1/GSTR-3B filings submitted throughout the year.
Portal: GST portal | Form: GSTR-9 | Time: 3 to 5 working days
Common Mistake: Do not wait until October to start. Begin document collection in April. Late statutory audit is the number one reason for missed AOC-4 deadlines, which then cascades into late MGT-7 and penalty accumulation.
Our 200+ CAs and CSs handle all 8 steps. You focus on your business.

Documents Required for Pvt Ltd Annual Compliance
Organize these documents before the compliance cycle begins in April. Having everything ready in advance prevents deadline pressure and ensures accurate filings.
MBP-1 Declarations - Disclosure of interest by each director
Tax Documents:
Income Tax Computation - With advance tax challans
TDS Certificates - Form 16A, 26AS/AIS for verification
GST Return Data - GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9 reconciliation
Pro Tip: Keep all board meeting minutes and AGM records in a digital compliance folder. MCA can request these during inspections under Section 206, and missing records attract separate penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pvt Ltd Compliance in Gandhinagar (2026)
These FAQs cover every aspect of private limited company compliance in Gandhinagar, from annual ROC filings and penalties to pricing, deadlines, and entity comparisons. Each answer includes specific data points, form numbers, and ₹ amounts sourced from the Companies Act, 2013 and MCA notifications.
Annual compliance for a private limited company includes mandatory filings under the Companies Act, 2013: AOC-4 (financial statements), MGT-7 (annual return), DIR-3 KYC (director verification), statutory audit, board meetings (minimum 4 per year), AGM, income tax return (ITR-6), and GST returns. Non-compliance attracts penalties starting at ₹100 per day per form.
A private limited company must hold minimum 4 board meetings per year under Section 173 of the Companies Act, 2013. The gap between two consecutive meetings cannot exceed 120 days. Failure to conduct board meetings attracts a penalty of ₹25,000 per meeting on every defaulting director.
Form AOC-4 must be filed within 30 days of the AGM with the Registrar of Companies. Since the AGM deadline is September 30, AOC-4 is typically due by October 29. The government fee ranges from ₹200 to ₹600 based on authorized capital. Late filing attracts ₹100 per day penalty on both the company and every defaulting officer.
Form MGT-7 (annual return) must be filed within 60 days of the AGM under Section 92 of the Companies Act, 2013. With an AGM deadline of September 30, MGT-7 is typically due by November 28. Small companies can file the simplified MGT-7A form. Late filing penalty is ₹100 per day per form.
DIR-3 KYC is mandatory for every director holding a DIN (Director Identification Number), regardless of whether the company is active or dormant. The deadline is September 30 annually under Rule 12A. Existing DIN holders can use the web-based KYC option. Late filing attracts a ₹5,000 penalty and temporary DIN deactivation.
Statutory audit is mandatory for every private limited company under Section 139 of the Companies Act, 2013, regardless of turnover or profit. The company must appoint a practicing Chartered Accountant as auditor and file Form ADT-1 within 15 days of the AGM. There is no turnover exemption for Pvt Ltd companies.
The Annual General Meeting must be held within 6 months from the end of the financial year, i.e., by September 30 under Section 96 of the Companies Act, 2013. A 21-day advance notice is mandatory. Non-compliance attracts a penalty of ₹1 lakh on the company and ₹5,000 on every defaulting officer.
Form INC-20A is a declaration of commencement of business required under Section 10A. Every company incorporated after November 2, 2018 must file INC-20A within 180 days of incorporation. It requires a certificate from a CA/CS/CMA confirming paid-up capital verification. Non-filing attracts a ₹50,000 penalty on the company and ₹1,000 per day on directors.
AOC-4 files financial statements (balance sheet, P&L, directors report, auditors report) under Section 129/137, due within 30 days of AGM. MGT-7 files the annual return (shareholding, directors, meetings) under Section 92, due within 60 days of AGM. Both carry ₹100/day late penalties. AOC-4 covers finances; MGT-7 covers corporate governance data.
Dormant companies cannot skip annual compliance. Even a company with zero transactions must file AOC-4 (nil return), MGT-7, DIR-3 KYC, conduct board meetings, and hold an AGM. The only concession under Section 455 is that dormant companies need just 2 board meetings per year instead of 4. All filing deadlines and penalties remain identical.
GST return filing is a separate statutory obligation under the CGST Act, 2017, not part of ROC compliance. A GST-registered Pvt Ltd company must file GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B monthly or quarterly plus GSTR-9 annual return by December 31. Late filing attracts ₹50 to ₹200 per day. IncorpX's comprehensive compliance package covers both ROC and GST filings.
Filing annual returns involves 8 steps: collect financial records, complete statutory audit, hold board meetings and AGM, file DIR-3 KYC by September 30, file AOC-4 by October 29, file MGT-7 by November 28, file ITR-6 by October 31, and file GSTR-9 by December 31. Each form is filed on the MCA V3 portal using the director's DSC.
Key documents include: audited financial statements (balance sheet, P&L), board meeting minutes (minimum 4 meetings), AGM notice and minutes, directors' DSC and DIN details, PAN and Aadhaar for DIR-3 KYC, statutory audit report with UDIN, income tax computation, GST return data (GSTR-1/3B/9), and TDS certificates (Form 16A/26AS).
Non-filing triggers cascading consequences: ₹100/day penalty on both company and directors for each unfiled form (AOC-4/MGT-7), potential DIN deactivation, director disqualification under Section 164(2) after 3 consecutive years, company marked for strike-off after 2 years of non-filing, and inability to access MCA portal for other filings.
Under Section 164(2) of the Companies Act, 2013, directors face disqualification if a company fails to file annual returns for 3 consecutive financial years. Disqualified directors are banned from being appointed as director in any company for 5 years. Over 2 lakh directors have been disqualified under this provision since its enforcement.
Late filing of MGT-7 attracts a penalty of ₹100 per day on both the company and every officer in default under Section 92(5). Delays of 6 months accumulate around ₹18,000 per form. Additionally, continued non-filing triggers Section 164(2) director disqualification proceedings.
All annual compliance filings are done online. ROC forms (AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-3 KYC, ADT-1) are filed on the MCA V3 portal. Income tax returns (ITR-6) are filed on www.incometax.gov.in. GST returns are filed on www.gst.gov.in. All forms require a valid Class 3 DSC for submission.
Annual compliance cost includes government fees (₹200 to ₹600 per form) based on authorized capital, plus professional fees. IncorpX's basic ROC compliance package starts at ₹2,999 per year covering AOC-4, MGT-7, and DIR-3 KYC. The standard package (ROC + tax) is ₹5,999 to ₹7,999. Market rates range from ₹3,000 to ₹25,000 depending on scope.
MCA government fees depend on authorized capital: ₹200 (up to ₹1 lakh), ₹300 (₹1 to ₹5 lakh), ₹400 (₹5 to ₹25 lakh), ₹500 (₹25 lakh to ₹1 crore), ₹600 (above ₹1 crore). This slab applies to both AOC-4 and MGT-7. DIR-3 KYC has nil government fee if filed on time. DSC renewal costs ₹1,000 to ₹1,500 per director.
IncorpX's basic package at ₹2,999/year includes: AOC-4 filing, MGT-7/MGT-7A filing, DIR-3 KYC for all directors, board meeting minutes preparation, AGM minutes drafting, and statutory register maintenance. The standard package (₹5,999 to ₹7,999) adds ITR-6, TDS returns, and compliance calendar. The comprehensive package (₹9,999 to ₹14,999) includes GST filing and audit coordination.
Skipping compliance for one year can cost ₹36,500+ per form in penalties (₹100/day x 365 days). For AOC-4 and MGT-7 combined, that totals ₹73,000+ in penalties, compared to ₹2,999 compliance cost. Add ₹5,000 per director for DIR-3 KYC, ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 for late ITR-6, and potential DIN deactivation disrupting all business operations.
Pvt Ltd companies file AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-3 KYC, and ADT-1 under the Companies Act, 2013. LLPs file Form 8 (Statement of Accounts) and Form 11 (Annual Return) under the LLP Act, 2008. Pvt Ltd requires mandatory statutory audit regardless of turnover; LLPs need audit only if turnover exceeds ₹40 lakh or contribution exceeds ₹25 lakh.
OPC compliance is slightly simpler. OPCs are exempt from holding an AGM under Section 96(1), can hold just 2 board meetings per year, and file MGT-7A (simplified annual return). However, OPCs must still file AOC-4, DIR-3 KYC, ADT-1, ITR-6, and conduct statutory audit, identical to Pvt Ltd. The filing deadlines and penalties remain the same.
Companies registered in Gandhinagar fall under ROC . All annual filings (AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-3 KYC) are submitted online through the MCA V3 portal, so physical ROC visits are not required. The ROC jurisdiction is determined by the state of your registered office address, not your operational location.

Stamp duty on board resolutions also varies by state.
