Company Annual Filing is a mandatory compliance requirement for companies registered under the Companies Act, 2013. Every Private Limited Company, Public Limited Company, One Person Company (OPC), and other registered companies are required to file annual returns and financial statements with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), irrespective of turnover, business activity, or profit earned during the year.
Annual filing ensures that a company remains legally compliant and maintains its active status with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).
