An annual return is a mandatory yearly filing for every company, regardless of its type or status, providing detailed information about the company’s structure, operations, and financial standing. Annual Return is not a tax return; it is simply a corporate law requirement and every company is legally obligated to file this return with Registrar of Companies (ROC).
The Companies Act 2013 mandates to put information in Annual Return as on the last date of Financial Year irrespective of information stood on the Date of AGM.
Company Annual Return Filing is a crucial requirement for every registered company, ensuring transparency and compliance with regulatory authorities. This process involves submitting financial and operational information about the company to the government, typically on an annual basis. The annual return includes details such as the company's financial statements, shareholdings, directors' information, and updates on any changes in the company's structure or governance.
Annual filing of a company involves submitting required documents and financial statements to regulatory authorities each year. This process ensures transparency, compliance with legal obligations, and provides stakeholders with a snapshot of the company's financial health and operational status. Annual ROC (Registrar of Companies) filing involves submitting various documents and financial statements to the ROC as required by the Companies Act. This filing ensures that the company complies with statutory regulations and provides stakeholders with updated information on the company's financial performance and governance. Timely ROC filing is crucial to avoid penalties and maintain good standing with regulatory authorities
