Pvt Ltd Annual Compliance Checklist for Chennai Companies

22 March 2026 7 min read

Every Private Limited Company in Chennai, regardless of turnover, must complete a fixed set of annual filings. Missing them attracts ₹100/day per form, with no upper limit.

First board meeting: within 30 days of incorporation. Minimum 4 board meetings per year, no more than 120 days apart.

AGM: within 6 months of FY end (so by 30 September for FY ending March).

AOC-4 (financials): within 30 days of AGM. MGT-7 (annual return): within 60 days of AGM.

DIR-3 KYC: every director, every year, by 30 September. Missing this freezes the DIN with a ₹5,000 reactivation fee.

Statutory audit: mandatory regardless of turnover. ITR-6: 31 October (audit cases).

We bundle all of this into a single annual retainer for Chennai SMEs — pricing starts from ₹15,000/year.
