Annual Compliance for Private Limited Company


Annual compliances for a Private Limited Company in India refer to the mandatory filings and regulatory requirements that must be fulfilled each year to remain in good standing with legal and regulatory authorities. These compliance obligations apply regardless of the company’s turnover or capital amount. Ensuring compliance with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) is mandatory for all registered private limited companies. Failure to meet these annual compliance requirements can lead to severe consequences.

All private limited companies, one-person companies, limited companies, and section 8 companies are required to adhere to annual compliance regulations as per the Companies Act of 2013. These compliances ensure that the company operates transparently, maintains accurate records, and adheres to statutory regulations. Here’s a brief meaning of the key annual compliances:
