How the MCA additional fee works

For late filing of the annual forms AOC-4 (financial statements) and MGT-7 / MGT-7A (annual return), the Companies Act charges an additional fee of ₹100 per day, per form, running from the day after the due date until the form is filed. Unlike the GST late fee, there is no upper cap — so a long delay across both forms adds up quickly, and continued default can attract further penalty on the company and its officers.

AOC-4 is generally due within 30 days of the AGM and MGT-7 within 60 days, so the two often fall late together. Treat this as an estimate and confirm the exact fee with your CS.
