Overview of Annual Compliance of a Pvt. Ltd. Company

Government recently strike off more than 2 Lakh businesses and disqualified more than 3 Lakh managers for non-compliance with different provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. At the time when government came to know the different strategies used by corporate organizations to evade taxes, such a form of historic action came about.

Company law offers regulatory compliance that any company has to obey, such as reporting financial reports, reporting management changes, maintaining statutory registries, auditing accounts, etc.

Update as of March 20, 2020

Benefits of Annual Compliance

  • Credibility of Raising Business

For any organization, compliance with legislation is the primary requirement. The annual return filing date of the organization is shown on the Master Data on the MCA portal. The regularity of compliance is an important criterion for evaluating the integrity of a company through government tenders, loan approval or other similar purposes.

  • Investors Gain

While pulling funds from the investors for a venture, the investors request all financial documents and date before the proposal is finalized. Investors may either directly contact the organization or review the financial statements from the MCA portal as well. Investors appear to prefer firms with periodic enforcement records, too.

  • Maintain Active Status and prevent sanctions

Continuous failure to file the return turns the status of the company into default and charges severe fines for it. The business can also be declared or excluded from the RoC as defunct. The directors concerned are therefore dismissed and disqualified from their next appointment. An additional fee of ⁇ 100 for each day of delay will be charged from July 2018 until the date of filing.

Compliance is a business tool that can offer competitive advantage, consumer trust and eventually return on investment to businesses, if used in the right way. Compliance is not about 'doing the right thing' or 'ticking a box,' but it is the way of operating, part of the business, faith in investors, clear and open culture. Know, non-compliance costs are often higher than compliance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

A organization may choose to appoint a statutory auditor, either for five consecutive years or until the next AGM is concluded. Therefore, it is not possible to accept the appointment of a statutory auditor as part of annual compliance.

It is mandatory, as per the Companies Act 2013, to send the signed Director Report to MCA for each financial year by filing the company's annual return. The Director's Report is considered to be an addition to the MGT-7 type.

For each and every organization since its incorporation, audited financial statements are mandatory. Audited financial/administrative reports must only be filed by the company. Furthermore, the lack of a financial statement audit is not an excuse for delaying the annual report.
