What Is Pvt Ltd Company Compliance?

Pvt Ltd compliance is the legal obligation of every private limited company to file prescribed forms, hold meetings, maintain registers, conduct audits, and pay taxes within specified deadlines under the Companies Act, 2013, Income Tax Act, and other applicable laws.

The framework has three tiers: (1) Annual – AGM, AOC-4, MGT-7, ADT-1, ITR-6, DPT-3; (2) Periodic – Board Meetings quarterly, MSME-1 half-yearly, GST/TDS monthly/quarterly, PF/ESI monthly; (3) Event-based – DIR-12 (directors), PAS-3 (allotment), MGT-14 (special resolutions) within 30 days. For new companies, see Private Limited Company Registration.

A Powai startup may have 50+ individual compliance actions per year. Missing any deadline triggers penalties, and sustained non-compliance triggers director disqualification under Section 164(2). Patron manages the entire calendar for Mumbai companies.

Key Terms for Pvt Ltd Compliance:

  • AOC-4: Financial statements filed within 30 days of AGM – Balance Sheet, P&L, auditor report
  • MGT-7: Annual return within 60 days of AGM – shareholding, directors, meetings, compliance
  • Section 164(2): Director disqualification for 5 years if 3 consecutive years non-filing
  • DPT-3: Return of deposits and loans – filed annually by 30 June
  • MSME-1: Outstanding MSME dues half-yearly – 30 April and 31 October
  • Section 173: Minimum 4 Board Meetings per year, gap ≤ 120 days

Common Challenges in Pvt Ltd Compliance in Mumbai

ChallengeImpactHow Patron Accounting Solves It
Section 164(2) Director Disqualification3 years non-filing of AOC-4/MGT-7 disqualifies ALL directors from ALL companies for 5 years. One non-compliant company affects all directorshipsFiling status monitored for all director companies. Alerts sent for disqualification risks. Priority filing for approaching 2-year threshold
Dormant Company Penalty AccumulationRs 100/day per form (no cap). AOC-4 + MGT-7 delayed 1 year = Rs 73,000. Plus director disqualification riskAdvise: nil compliance (Rs 10,000/year) or company closure via STK-2 (Rs 15,000 one-time). Cost-benefit analysis provided
Filing Sequence ErrorsMCA requires: ADT-1 → AOC-4 → MGT-7. Out of sequence = system rejection. Many attempt MGT-7 before AOC-4Correct sequence managed every time. ADT-1 within 7 days, AOC-4 within 15 days, MGT-7 within 30 days of AGM
Audit Delay CascadingLate audit delays AGM, which delays AOC-4, which delays MGT-7. Entire compliance chain collapsesAudit begins April-May, completed by July. 2-month buffer before AGM. No cascading delays for Mumbai companies
Multiple Regulatory Coordination5+ regulators: MCA, Income Tax, GST, PF, ESI, Maharashtra PT. Missing any one creates compliance gapSingle-point integrated CA+CS team. One engagement covers all regulatory filings. No coordination gaps

Section 164(2) director disqualification is the most severe consequence. 3 years non-filing of AOC-4 or MGT-7 disqualifies ALL directors from ALL companies for 5 years. For Mumbai directors serving on multiple boards, one non-compliant company can destroy all directorships. Patron files AOC-4 within 15 days and MGT-7 within 30 days of AGM – half the deadline – with built-in buffer to prevent any risk.
