📌 Important Notes
  • AGM-linked dates (ADT-1, AOC-4, MGT-7) assume the AGM is held on 30 September — adjust if your company's AGM falls earlier.
  • Form DIR-3 KYC applies to every DIN holder, whether they're a company director or an LLP designated partner.
  • MCA occasionally extends specific deadlines by circular — this page reflects the standard statutory rule, not any extension issued after it was last updated.
  • Applicability of Secretarial Audit and Form BEN-2 depends on your company's specific size, structure and facts — not every entity needs either.
  • This calendar covers Companies Act and LLP Act secretarial compliance only — it does not include Income Tax, TDS, GST or Payroll due dates.
  • All dates are indicative and for general awareness — talk to us for the filing calendar that applies to your entity specifically.
