Statutory Annual Returns
The core annual filings required for every Private Limited company
Following the conclusion of every financial year and the holding of the Annual General Meeting (AGM), every Private Limited company must file its annual accounts and operational returns with the Registrar of Companies.
Form AOC-4 contains the audited balance sheet, profit and loss statement, directors' report with statutory disclosures under Section 134, and the independent auditor's report. Form MGT-7 encapsulates the company's complete structural profile: registered office, shareholding patterns, debentures, directorships, board meetings held, and remuneration.
VIDURA provides seamless preparation, digital formatting, professional certification, and MCA V3 e-filing for private limited companies nationwide.
