Question 1

Can I register a Private Limited company or LLP at a residential address in Gurugram (Gurgaon)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, under MCA SPICe+ regulations you can register your company or LLP at a residential apartment or house in Gurugram. You require a utility bill (electricity or water) not older than 60 days, along with a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and ownership proof from the property owner.

Question 2

Are virtual offices in DLF Cyber City and Udyog Vihar accepted by RoC Delhi & Haryana?

Accepted Answer

Yes, virtual offices in major Gurugram coworking hubs (Cyber City, Udyog Vihar, Golf Course Road) are fully accepted for company registration provided you submit a valid rent agreement, utility bill in the name of the coworking entity, and an official landlord NOC.

Question 3

What is the government fee for Private Limited company registration in Haryana?

Accepted Answer

Under the MCA zero-fee scheme, government incorporation fees (SPICe+ Part B) are ₹0 for companies with authorized capital up to ₹15 Lakhs. You only pay Haryana state stamp duty (₹60 e-Stamp: ₹10 MoA + ₹50 AoA) plus PAN/TAN filing charges of ₹132.

Question 4

Why does Gurugram (Haryana) have an advantage for corporate annual compliance and payroll?

Accepted Answer

Unlike Karnataka (which charges ₹200/month per employee) and Maharashtra (which charges ₹2,500/year), Haryana imposes 0% Professional Tax on corporate payroll. Additionally, filings under RoC Delhi & Haryana benefit from direct proximity to the Central Registration Centre (CRC) in IMT Manesar for rapid turnaround.

Question 5

What is the deadline for RoC annual filing for Private Limited companies and LLPs in Gurugram?

Accepted Answer

Private Limited companies must file Form AOC-4 (financials) within 30 days of the AGM and Form MGT-7/7A (annual return) within 60 days. For LLPs, Form 11 is due by May 30th and Form 8 (statement of accounts) by October 30th each financial year.

Question 6

What is the difference between AOC-4 and AOC-4 XBRL, and how do I know if my company has to file XBRL?

Accepted Answer

AOC-4 is the standard form for filing audited financial statements; AOC-4 XBRL is the XBRL-tagged version. XBRL is mandatory for listed companies, companies with turnover of ₹100 crore or more, companies with paid-up capital of ₹5 crore or more, all subsidiaries of listed companies, and any company that has filed AOC-4 XBRL even once before. The 'once XBRL, always XBRL' rule means a one-time turnover spike locks you into XBRL filing for every future year.

Question 7

What is the penalty if I miss the AOC-4 or MGT-7 deadline?

Accepted Answer

The late fee is ₹100 per day per form with no upper cap. A six-month delay on both forms can cross ₹36,000 in additional fees alone. More serious is that three consecutive years of default triggers director disqualification under Section 164(2) for five years across every company those directors sit on, and the company itself faces strike-off proceedings under Section 248.

Question 8

By when must the AGM be held, and can it be extended?

Accepted Answer

The AGM must be held within six months of the financial year end and within 15 months of the previous AGM. For a 31 March 2027 year-end, that means by 30 September 2027. An extension of up to three months can be obtained from the Registrar, but the application must be filed before the original deadline expires — not after.

Question 9

Is DIR-3 KYC mandatory every year even if nothing has changed for the director?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every DIN holder must file DIR-3 KYC every year by 30 September, whether or not they currently sit on any board. Where details are unchanged from the last filing, the DIR-3 KYC web form with OTP is sufficient. If details have changed, the full e-form is filed. Non-filing deactivates the DIN on 1 October and reactivation costs ₹5,000.

Question 10

When does secretarial audit under Section 204 become applicable?

Accepted Answer

Secretarial audit under Form MR-3 is mandatory for every listed company, every public company with paid-up capital of ₹50 crore or more, every public company with turnover of ₹250 crore or more, and every company with bank or public financial institution borrowings of ₹100 crore or more. The MR-3 report is annexed to the Board's Report and forms part of the AOC-4 attachment pack.

Question 11

What is MGT-7A and which companies file it instead of MGT-7?

Accepted Answer

MGT-7A is the abridged annual return for small companies and one-person companies. A small company is one with paid-up capital up to ₹4 crore and turnover up to ₹40 crore that is not a subsidiary, holding, Section 8, or specified company. MGT-7A removes some disclosures and does not require the cash flow statement. Filing MGT-7A when the company has crossed the small-company threshold is a defective filing.

Question 12

How long does the full ROC annual filing cycle take?

Accepted Answer

The full cycle runs roughly 5-7 months from the financial year end. Books close and audit signing take 3-4 months; AGM notice requires 21 clear days; AOC-4 has 30 days from AGM and MGT-7 has 60 days. For a 31 March 2027 year-end, expect to be done by late November 2027 if everything stays on schedule.

Question 13

Do I have to file ROC returns even if my company did no business this year?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every company registered under the Companies Act 2013 must file AOC-4 and MGT-7 every year regardless of whether business was carried on, whether there was revenue, or whether the company was profitable. A dormant or nil-revenue company files financials reflecting that position, but the forms themselves are not optional. The only way to stop filing is to obtain dormant status under Section 455 or strike-off under Section 248.

Question 14

What is DPT-3 and which companies need to file it?

Accepted Answer

DPT-3 is the annual return of deposits and money received that is not classified as deposits — including loans from directors, intercorporate borrowings, debentures, and security deposits. Every company that has any outstanding amount as on 31 March must file DPT-3 by 30 June. The form attaches an auditor's certificate on the outstanding receipts and their classification.

Question 15

When does MGT-8 certification by a practising company secretary apply?

Accepted Answer

MGT-8 PCS certification is mandatory where the company has paid-up share capital of ₹10 crore or more, or turnover of ₹50 crore or more, in the year for which the annual return is being filed. The practising CS countersigns MGT-7, confirming that the annual return is correct, complete, and in compliance with the Companies Act 2013.

Question 16

What is BEN-2 and when do I have to file it?

Accepted Answer

BEN-2 is the return of significant beneficial owners filed by the company within 30 days of receiving a BEN-1 declaration from any individual who ultimately owns or controls 10% or more of shares, voting rights, distributable dividends, or significant influence — directly or through layered structures. MCA has been actively scrutinising layered shareholding through LLPs, trusts, and foreign companies, so the BEN-2 analysis is not optional even where ownership looks straightforward on paper.

Question 17

Can I file all the ROC forms myself on the MCA V3 portal without a professional?

Accepted Answer

Technically yes, but the forms require certification by a CA, CS, or CMA in practice in most cases, plus correct attachment of audited financials, Board's Report, CARO 2020, and where applicable XBRL tagging and MR-3 secretarial audit. The risk is not the form upload but the underlying classification — getting XBRL applicability, MGT-7A eligibility, MGT-8 thresholds, or SBO determination wrong leads to defective filings, notices, and penalties that cost far more than professional fees.
