& Section 8 NGOs

Annual MCA Compliance โ Large Companies & Section 8
Every company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 must file a set of annual returns and financial statements with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) within prescribed deadlines after each financial year. For large companies โ those meeting thresholds on turnover, net worth, or net profit โ and Section 8 Companies (NGOs / non-profit companies), additional and more stringent filing obligations apply.
Non-filing or delayed filing attracts significant additional fees (โน100 per day per form) and can result in the company being flagged as a defaulter โ affecting director eligibility, loan approvals, and government contracts. TaxClue tracks deadlines and manages all filings on a retainer basis, ensuring your company remains MCA-compliant throughout the year.
What Is a "Large Company" Under the Companies Act?
Under Section 2(60) read with MCA notifications, a company is classified as a "large company" if it has: (i) paid-up capital โฅ โน10 Crore, OR (ii) turnover โฅ โน250 Crore, OR (iii) borrowings from banks/financial institutions โฅ โน50 Crore. Large companies face additional requirements โ mandatory XBRL filing, detailed CSR disclosures, secretarial audit, and enhanced MGT-7 disclosures beyond standard private/public company obligations.
