Every company registered in India, including private limited, limited company, one person company (OPC), and section 8 company, is required to file annual returns with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) every year. OPC, specifically, must also hold an annual general meeting and file annual accounts with the ROC. The financial year for companies in India starts on April 1st and ends on March 31st, as mandated by the Companies Act 2013. Compared to private or public limited companies, OPC has fewer annual filing requirements.

The annual return for OPC includes essential information and documents such as the Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Account, OPC Compliance Certificate, Registered Office Address, Register of Members, Shares and Debentures details, Debt details, and information about the Management of the Company. It also discloses the shareholding structure, changes in directorship, and details of transfers of securities.

For OPC Annual Filing in the FY 2021-22, three forms need to be filed with the ROC:

1. ROC Form MGT 7: This form contains details of the shareholding structure, changes in directorship, and transfers of shares during the year, if any. The due date for filing Form MGT 7 for OPC is 60 days from the completion of 6 months from the end of the financial year, which falls on November 28th.

2. ROC Form AOC4: This form includes details and annexures related to the Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Account, Compliance Certificate, Registered Office Address, Register of Members, Shares and Debentures details, Debt details, and information about the Management of the Company. The due date for Form AOC 4 for OPC is 180 days from the close of the financial year, which means it falls on September 27th (counting 180 days from April 1st).

3. ROC Form ADT 1: This form is filed for auditor appointment and must be submitted within 15 days from the conclusion of the AGM. The due date for Form ADT 1 is October 14th.
