Days are counted leaving out the day of the event (General Clauses Act, s.9): an AGM on 30 September makes AOC-4 due on 30 October and MGT-7 on 29 November. Fees: Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules 2014 as amended by G.S.R. 12(E) (from 1 July 2022); AOC-4 and MGT-7 at ₹100 a day; charges under s.77 barred after day 120 and CHG-4 after day 300; LLP Rules Annexure A from 1 April 2022. Penalties under the Act are separate and not shown. Items marked “Not confirmed” rest on a rule we could not verify against the gazette. Check the MCA portal before filing.
IN SHORT
Pick a company or LLP event, such as an AGM, a charge, an allotment or a change of director, and this free tool lists every ROC form it triggers with the due date, any limit after which it can no longer be filed, the fee if filed today and the fee at each later slab. Days are counted leaving out the day of the event.
STEP BY STEP

GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
- Is PAS-3 due in 15 or 30 days?
- 15 days for a private placement under section 42 and 30 days for other allotments.
- Does a private company file MGT-14 for approving accounts?
- No. Private companies are exempt from filing board resolutions passed under section 179(3).
- Why is the event day left out?
- Section 9 of the General Clauses Act excludes the first day of a period, so a 30-day form for an event on 1 October is due on 31 October.
