ROC MGT-7 due dates
ROC MGT-7 (annual return)
MGT-7 is a company's annual return to the Registrar: a snapshot of who owns it, who runs it and what changed during the year. It is filed separately from the financial statements and answers a different question — not what the company earned, but what the company is.
- How often
- Annual
- Who it applies to
- Private/Public Limited company (AGM assumed 30 Sep)

Who must file ROC MGT-7
Every company registered under the Companies Act. One Person Companies and small companies file the shorter MGT-7A instead. Certification by a practising company secretary in MGT-8 is required where paid-up capital reaches ₹10 crore or turnover reaches ₹50 crore.
What the form asks for
- Registered office, principal business activities, and particulars of holding, subsidiary and associate companies
- Shareholding pattern, and the share and debenture position
- Members and debenture-holders, with changes during the year
- Directors and key managerial personnel, and every change in them
- Meetings of members and of the board, with attendance
- Remuneration of directors and key managerial personnel
- Penalties and compounding of offences during the year

What is the difference between AOC-4 and MGT-7?
AOC-4 files the audited financial statements — what the company earned and owns. MGT-7 files the annual return — who owns it, who directs it, and what changed. Both are annual, and they are due 30 and 60 days after the AGM respectively.

A director and the company secretary, or where there is no company secretary, a practising company secretary. Separate certification in MGT-8 is required once paid-up capital reaches ₹10 crore or turnover reaches ₹50 crore.
