Form MGT-7 (Annual Return) (MGT-7)

An annual-return form; the applicable form and requirements depend on company type.

◈Definition

Form MGT-7 is the annual return required from every Indian company under Section 92 of the Companies Act 2013. It reports the state of the company at a fixed date — shareholding pattern, director composition, capital structure, debt, and key events during the year. MGT-7 must be filed within 60 days of the Annual General Meeting. Failure to file triggers late fees and, if sustained over multiple years, can lead to strike-off proceedings. MGT-7A is a simplified variant for One Person Companies and small companies.
