For every company, it is compulsory to file an annual return and audited financial statements with MCA for every financial year. The RoC filing is mandatory irrespective of the turnover, whether it is zero or in crore. Whether a single transaction is undertaken or none, annual compliances for private limited are mandatory for every registered company.
