Overview

Private Limited Company Annual Filing Overview

All companies with an Indian registration, including private limited companies, one-person businesses, limited companies, and section 8 corporations, are required to file an annual MCA report as well as an income tax return. The company must hold an AGM at the conclusion of each fiscal year before filing an annual return.

The Annual General Meeting for newly created companies must be held within 18 months of the incorporation date or within 9 months of the financial year's end, whichever comes first. The next AGM should take place six months after the end of the previous fiscal year. The fiscal year in India typically begins on April 1 and concludes on March 31. The annual report for a company would then be required on or before September 30.
