Common questions
First-year compliance, statute-cited.
What are the first 30 days after incorporation?+
Two deadlines land in the first 30 days: the first board meeting within 30 days of incorporation under s.173(1) of the Companies Act 2013, and the appointment of the first statutory auditor within 30 days under s.139(6) — with Form ADT-1 filed within 15 days of that appointment per Rule 4 of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules 2014. The forecaster schedules both from your incorporation date.
What is INC-20A and when is it due?+
INC-20A is the declaration of commencement of business that must be filed within 180 days of incorporation under s.10A(1) of the Companies Act 2013, along with a director's declaration that subscribers have paid up their share capital in full. Miss it and the Registrar may strike the company off under s.10A(2) — one of the most commonly missed first-year filings.
When is the first AGM held?+
The first AGM must be held within 9 months of the close of the first financial year under s.96(1) of the Companies Act 2013 — so a company with a 31 March year-end must hold it by 31 December. Subsequent AGMs must be within 15 months of the previous one and within 6 months of the financial year end; OPCs are exempt under the s.96(1) proviso.
When are AOC-4 and MGT-7 filed?+
Form AOC-4 (financial statements) is filed within 30 days of the AGM under s.137 of the Companies Act 2013, and Form MGT-7 (annual return) within 60 days of the AGM under s.92 — both with late fees of ₹100/day under s.403 until filed. The forecaster stacks these against your AGM date and shows the combined cost.
What costs does the forecaster model?+
It models professional fees for each milestone — the board meeting, auditor appointment and ADT-1, INC-20A, the AGM, and the AOC-4/MGT-7 annual filings — as indicative ranges rather than statutory fees, because professional charges vary by city and complexity. Treat the output as a budgeting estimate; the statutory deadlines and late-fee rates themselves are cited.
