Corporate Law Compliance Calendar — FY 2026-27

How We Help

The corporate law calendar for FY 2026-27 is anchored by the AGM and the cascade of filings that follow — AOC-4, MGT-14, MGT-7, and ADT-1 — all of which shift with the actual AGM date. Layered over that are the fixed-cycle obligations: DIR-3 KYC, DPT-3, CSR-2, and the half-yearly rhythm of MSME-1, PAS-6, NDH-3, and the LLP and foreign company returns. At Anuj Desai & Associates, we map every deadline to your AGM date, prepare the forms, and lodge them directly with the MCA registry. If you would prefer not to track this grid in-house, get in touch with our corporate compliance desk.
