Every company must file its annual return and financial statements with the Registrar of Companies each year — primarily Form AOC-4 for financial statements and Form MGT-7/7A for the annual return — within statutory due dates linked to the Annual General Meeting. Event-based filings such as director changes, allotments, and registered-office shifts each carry their own forms and deadlines.
