Penalties for Non
Compliance in Annual Filing of Company
Timely filing of annual returns and financial statements is a legal requirement under the Companies Act, 2013. Failure to comply can lead to significant penalties and consequences for the company and its directors. What you need know about penalties is as follows:
Late Filing Fees
- If annual returns (Form MGT-7) or financial statements (Form AOC-4) are filed after the due date, the company is liable to pay a late filing fee.
- The fee is calculated at ₹100 per day of delay per form, with a maximum limit of ₹5,00,000 for each form.
- This penalty increases with the length of the delay, making early filing crucial.
Penalty on Directors
- Directors can be held personally responsible for non-compliance.
- Each defaulting director may be fined up to ₹1,00,000 and face an additional fine of ₹5,000 per day during which the default continues.
- Prolonged non-compliance can lead to disqualification of directors from holding office in any company.
Compounding of Offences
- Certain offences related to annual filings can be compounded by paying a penalty, which is generally less than the maximum fine.
- Compounding helps companies rectify mistakes without facing prosecution.
Risk of Company Striking Off
- Continued failure to file annual returns may lead to the Registrar of Companies initiating action to strike off the company from the register.
- Striking off results in the company losing its legal existence, which can be a costly and complex situation to reverse.
Impact on Company Reputation
- Non-compliance affects the company’s credit rating and public image.
- It may hamper the company’s ability to raise funds, bid for government tenders, or enter into contracts.
