What Are Annual Compliances?
Annual compliances are a set of mandatory filings and formalities that every registered company in India (like Private Limited, OPC, or LLP) must fulfill each financial year under the Companies Act, 2013 and governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
These compliances ensure your company is legally active, financially transparent, and free from penalties.
