That means it carries the same compliance obligations as any other company under the Companies Act, 2013. The only real difference is that some requirements are lighter for OPCs compared to private limited companies. <\/span><b>OPC compliance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in India refers to the annual and event-based filings an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalraasta.com\/opc-registration\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">OPC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> must complete with the Registrar of Companies every financial year. This covers statutory audit, annual return, financial statements, and board meeting records at minimum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Missing even one filing creates penalties that add up daily. And unlike a freelancer or sole proprietor, an OPC director cannot simply say the company was inactive. Dormant status is no excuse under the Act. <\/span><b>LegalRaasta <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">handles complete OPC compliance for solo founders across India so you never miss a filing or pay a rupee more in penalties than you should.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_73 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div

What is OPC annual compliance under the Companies Act 2013?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>OPC compliance in India<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> refers to the mandatory annual filings an OPC must complete with the ROC, including statutory audit, Form AOC-4, Form MGT-7A, and board meeting records. These are required regardless of turnover or business activity during the financial year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Is_annual_compliance_mandatory_for_an_OPC_with_zero_revenue\"><\/span><b>2. Is annual compliance mandatory for an OPC with zero revenue?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes. <\/span><b>OPC compliance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is mandatory for every registered OPC regardless of revenue, profit, or business activity. Even dormant OPCs must file Form AOC-4 and MGT-7A and complete the statutory audit each financial year to avoid penalties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Which_ROC_forms_are_mandatory_for_OPC_annual_filing\"><\/span><b>3. Which ROC forms are mandatory for OPC annual filing?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The core ROC forms for <\/span><b>OPC compliance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are Form AOC-4 for financial statements and Form MGT-7A for the annual return. Form ADT-1 is required to intimate auditor appointment. All three are filed on the MCA21 portal under the Companies Act, 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Does_an_OPC_need_to_hold_an_AGM_in_India\"><\/span><b>4. Does an OPC need to hold an AGM in India?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No. <\/span><b>OPC compliance in India<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> does not require an Annual General Meeting. OPCs are exempt from AGM under the Companies Act, 2013. However, at least two board meetings per year with proper minutes are mandatory, and the 90-day gap between meetings must not be exceeded.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_What_are_the_due_dates_for_OPC_annual_filing_in_FY_2025-26\"><\/span><b>5. What are the due dates for OPC annual filing in FY 2025-26?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For <\/span><b>OPC compliance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in FY 2025-26, Form MGT-7A is due by 29 May 2026, and Form AOC-4 is due by 27 September 2026. These are 60 days and 180 days, respectively, from the financial year end, unlike private limited companies, which follow AGM-triggered deadlines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_What_is_Form_MGT-7A_and_who_needs_to_file_it\"><\/span><b>6. What is Form MGT-7A and who needs to file it?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Form MGT-7A is the annual return form for <\/span><b>OPC compliance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and small companies under Section 92 of the Companies Act, 2013. It covers director details, shareholder information, and governance disclosures. It replaces Form MGT-7 for OPCs and is filed on the MCA21 portal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_What_is_Form_AOC-4_in_the_context_of_OPC_filing\"><\/span><b>7. What is Form AOC-4 in the context of OPC filing?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Form AOC-4 is used for <\/span><b>OPC compliance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to submit audited financial statements, including the balance sheet, profit and loss account, directors&#8217; report, and auditor&#8217;s report, to the ROC on the MCA21 portal within 180 days of the financial year-end.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Is_statutory_audit_mandatory_for_an_OPC_in_India\"><\/span><b>8. Is statutory audit mandatory for an OPC in India?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes. Statutory audit is mandatory for every <\/span><b>OPC compliance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> cycle under Section 139 of the Companies Act, 2013. There is no minimum turnover exemption. Even an OPC with zero transactions must get its accounts audited by a practising Chartered Accountant each year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_What_are_the_penalties_for_late_OPC_compliance_filings\"><\/span><b>9. What are the penalties for late OPC compliance filings?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Late <\/span><b>OPC compliance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> filings attract Rs 100 per day of delay on Forms AOC-4 and MGT-7A. Failure to appoint an auditor costs a minimum of Rs 25,000 to the company. Continued default beyond three years leads to director disqualification under Section 164(2) of the Companies Act.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_How_can_LegalRaasta_help_with_OPC_annual_compliance\"><\/span><b>10. How can LegalRaasta help with OPC annual compliance?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">LegalRaasta manages complete <\/span><b>OPC compliance in India,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> including statutory audit coordination, Form ADT-1, AOC-4, and MGT-7A filing on MCA21, board meeting minutes drafting, ITR-6 filing, GST returns, and compliance deadline tracking, so solo founders never miss a filing or face avoidable penalties.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An One Person Company is a registered company.
