AOC-4 Filing — Company Financial Statement Filing
AOC-4 is the form every company files to submit its financial statements to the Registrar of Companies. In short, it reports your balance sheet and profit-and-loss to the ROC each year. However, a late AOC-4 attracts a daily penalty that keeps growing. Therefore, Prospect Legal prepares and files your AOC-4 correctly and on time. As a result, your company stays clean and penalty-free.

What is AOC-4, and who must file it?
AOC-4 is the annual financial-statement return for companies. Simply put, it carries your audited balance sheet, profit-and-loss account, and the board and auditor reports. Therefore, the ROC sees your true financial position through it. Above all, it is a legal duty, not a choice.
Every registered company must file AOC-4. First, private and public companies file it each financial year. Next, the due date is within thirty days of the annual general meeting. Also, One Person Companies file within a set window too. Because a delay adds a daily fine, early filing protects your money.

You need only a few papers to start. Also, our team checks each one before filing. As a result, the return goes through cleanly. Here is the full list:
- Audited balance sheet and profit-and-loss account
