Event-Based vs Annual Compliance
It is vital to distinguish between recurring and situational compliance:
- Annual Compliance: Mandatory filings like AOC-4 and MGT-7/ 7A that happen every year based on the financial cycle.
- Event-Based Compliance: One-time filings triggered by specific actions, such as changing the company name, adding a new director, changing the registered office, or increasing share capital. Ofin Legal handles both to ensure your master data remains updated.
Director KYC & DPT-3 Compliance
- Two critical forms often missed by businesses are:
- DIR-3 KYC: Every individual with a DIN (Director Identification Number) must verify their details annually by 30th September. Failure leads to a deactivated DIN and a ₹5,000 reactivation fee.
- DPT-3: Mandatory for all companies (except government companies) to report outstanding loans or money received that is not classified as a deposit.
