MGT-7 / MGT-7A Annual Return Filing

File your annual return (MGT-7, or MGT-7A for small companies and OPCs) — shareholding, directors and company particulars — accurately with the Registrar.

Overview

The annual return is filed in MGT-7 (or MGT-7A for small companies and One Person Companies) and records your company’s shareholding, directors, registered office and the changes that happened during the financial year. It is separate from, and in addition to, the financial-statements filing (AOC-4).

CapEasy compiles the company’s particulars accurately, reconciles them with your registers and filings, and submits the annual return on time so your public record stays correct.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between AOC-4 and MGT-7?

AOC-4 files your financial statements; MGT-7 (or MGT-7A) is the annual return covering shareholding, directors and company particulars. Most companies must file both each year, on separate due dates.

Who can file MGT-7A instead of MGT-7?

MGT-7A is the simplified annual return for One Person Companies and small companies. We confirm which form applies to your company before filing.

When is the annual return due?

It’s generally filed within 60 days of the AGM; the exact date depends on your AGM and company type, which we track for you.
