What Is Form MGT 7?

MGT-7 is an electronic form provided by the Ministry of Corporate affairs to all the corporates in order to fill their annual return details. This e-form is maintained by the Registrar of Companies Tandoor Manufacturer via electronic mode and on the basis of the statement of correctness given by the company.

Who has to file the form?

All companies, whether public or private which are registered in India must file the Form MGT-7 every year. A company files the Form MGT-7 for its annual return.

What are the consequences of non-filing the form?

The penalty for not filing an annual return has been remarkably increased in 2018 to Rs. 100 (Rupees Hundred) per day of default. Hence, it should be ensured that the annual return in this form is filed before the due date.
