The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) is the regulatory body under the Government of India responsible for administering the Companies Act, 2013, the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008, and other corporate laws in India.
All companies registered in India must file various forms with MCA through the MCA21 portal and pay prescribed fees as per the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014.
MCA filing fees are determined based on two main factors: the type of form being filed and your company's authorized share capital.
Based on Authorized Capital:
| Authorized Capital | Fee |
|---|---|
| Up to ₹1,00,000 | ₹200 |
| ₹1,00,001 to ₹5,00,000 | ₹300 |
| ₹5,00,001 to ₹25,00,000 | ₹400 |
| ₹25,00,001 to ₹1,00,00,000 | ₹500 |
| Above ₹1,00,00,000 | ₹600 |
Fees regardless of capital:
| Form | Fee |
|---|---|
| INC-1 (Name Reservation) | ₹1,000 |
| DIR-3 (DIN Application) | ₹500 |
| DIR-3 KYC (On Time) | NIL |
| DIR-3 KYC (Late) | ₹5,000 |
| STK-2 (Strike Off) | ₹5,000 |
Filing MCA forms after the due date attracts additional fees that can significantly increase your compliance costs. The penalty structure varies based on the type of form and delay period.
| Delay Period | Additional Fee | Example (₹500 base fee) |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 30 days | 2x normal fee | ₹1,000 |
| 31 to 60 days | 4x normal fee | ₹2,000 |
| 61 to 90 days | 6x normal fee | ₹3,000 |
| 91 to 180 days | 10x normal fee | ₹5,000 |
| Beyond 180 days | 12x normal fee | ₹6,000 |
Since July 2018, late filing of annual returns attracts ₹100 per day until filing. A 6-month delay adds ₹18,000+ to your compliance costs.
| Delay Period | Additional Fee Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to 6 months | 2.5% per month on filing fee |
| Beyond 6 months | 3% per month on filing fee |

Stay compliant by filing your MCA forms before these deadlines:
| Form | Due Date | Applicable To |
|---|---|---|
| AOC-4 | Within 30 days of AGM | All Companies |
| MGT-7 / MGT-7A | Within 60 days of AGM | All Companies |
| ADT-1 | Within 15 days of AGM | All Companies |
| DIR-3 KYC | 30th September | All Directors with DIN |
| DPT-3 | 30th June annually | Companies with deposits/loans |
| MSME-1 | Half-yearly (Oct & Apr) | Companies with MSME dues |
| INC-20A | Within 180 days | Newly incorporated companies |
Note: AGM must be held within 6 months from the end of the financial year (by 30th September for April-March FY).
The AOC-4 filing fee depends on your company's authorized share capital, ranging from ₹200 to ₹600. Additionally, late filing attracts a penalty of ₹100 per day from the due date until the actual date of filing.
MGT-7 late filing penalty is ₹100 per day from the due date. For example, if you file 45 days late, the additional fee would be ₹4,500 on top of the normal filing fee based on your authorized capital.
DIR-3 KYC is free if filed before 30th September each year. If filed after the due date, a flat penalty of ₹5,000 is applicable regardless of the delay period.
Yes, One Person Companies (OPC) and Small Companies have concessional fee structures. They pay significantly lower fees for most filings compared to regular private or public limited companies, making compliance more affordable for smaller businesses.
Non-filing of AOC-4 and MGT-7 for three consecutive years can lead to the company being marked as "Active-non-compliant" and may result in striking off the company from ROC records. Directors may also face disqualification under Section 164(2) of the Companies Act, 2013.
MCA fees are paid online through the MCA21 portal using net banking, credit card, debit card, or NEFT/RTGS. The payment is made during the form filing process after uploading all required documents and attachments.
No, stamp duty is separate from MCA fees and varies by state. Our calculator provides stamp duty estimates for share capital increases (SH-7) based on your selected state of registration.
For general forms, the maximum multiplier is 12x the normal fee (for delays beyond 180 days). For annual returns like AOC-4 and MGT-7, there is no cap – the ₹100/day penalty continues to accumulate indefinitely until the form is filed.
Generally, MCA does not provide waivers on late filing fees. However, during special schemes like the "Company Fresh Start Scheme" (CFSS), the government may offer one-time relief on late fees for pending filings.
If INC-20A (Declaration for Commencement of Business) is not filed within 180 days of incorporation, the company cannot legally commence business operations and may face penalties. The Registrar may also initiate action to remove the company's name from the register.
