What is MGT-7, and who must file it?
MGT-7 is the yearly return that sets out a company’s structure. Simply put, it lists directors, shareholders, and the shareholding pattern. Therefore, the ROC sees who owns and runs the company. Above all, it is separate from the financial statements.
Every company files an annual return. First, most companies file MGT-7. Next, small companies and One Person Companies file the shorter MGT-7A. Also, the due date is within sixty days of the annual general meeting. Because a delay adds a daily fine, early filing protects your money.
