Compliance

The filing you miss is the one that costs more than the filing itself

Incorporation is a week. The next five years are a calendar. Additional fees on MCA, late fees on GST and a deactivated IEC all come from dates, not from drama.

Files stored for the year's paperwork

One calendar, four trails

  • MCA. Annual accounts and annual return, director KYC, and the event-based forms that follow a real change in the company.
  • GST. The returns your registration actually demands, including nil periods, plus the annual reconciliation where it applies.
  • TDS and income tax. Deduction on salaries and vendors, the quarterly TDS returns, and the income-tax return. A tax audit, if the turnover triggers it, is signed by a CA.
  • The extras. IEC annual update, FSSAI annual fee, professional tax, and any licence that quietly suspends itself.

How the retainer works

You get a written list of due dates for the year, a single person to send documents to, and a note when a signature we cannot give is required. We do not backdate a resolution, invent a turnover figure, or file a form you have not seen. If a due date has already passed, the late fee is quoted before the form goes in.

Questions people ask before they pay

Do you replace my chartered accountant?

No. Where the law needs a chartered accountant or a company secretary to sign — a statutory audit, a tax audit, or certain certifications — that signature stays with them. We run the calendar and the filings that sit with the business, and we work beside your CA instead of pretending to be one.

What does a private limited company usually owe MCA each year?

Financial statements and the annual return (AOC-4 and MGT-7, or MGT-7A where the shorter form applies), director KYC, and event-based forms when something changes: a director, the registered office, or the capital. The first year also has the auditor appointment and, where it applies, the commencement filing.

We had no sales. Do we still file?

Almost always, yes. A nil GST return is still due. A dormant-looking company still has MCA forms until it is formally closed or struck off. We would rather file nil than explain a late fee.

Can you start midway through the year?

Yes. We reconstruct the calendar from the incorporation date, the GSTIN and what has already been filed. If something is already late, we say what the additional fee looks like before we proceed.

Checked 10 November 2026. Thresholds, fees and form numbers change. Vissgro confirms the live rule on the official portal before anything is filed. A certificate is issued by that authority, or by Dun & Bradstreet in the case of a D-U-N-S Number — not by Vissgro.
