MCA requests companies to file annual returns at the earliest and not wait for the last date

To avoid last minute rush in annual filings during the months of October and November 2019, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has requested the companies to file their annual returns at the earliest.

In an advisory to the Corporates, MCA said, “To avoid last minute rush and

system congestion on the MCA 21 portal on account of annual filings during the months of October and November, 2019, companies are requested to file their financial statements and annual returns at the earliest, without postponing it to the last days.”

During this period, Corporate Sewa Kendra and Help Desks (Phone Number: 0120-4832500) would give priority to e-filing or answering of queries of companies for filing financial statements and annual returns, MCA said.

Every company is required to file the annual accounts and annual return as per The Companies Act, 2013 within 30 days and 60 days respectively from the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.
