Only private companies with paid-up share capital of ₹10 crore or more must appoint a whole-time company secretary. Others still have to meet all secretarial compliances, which most outsource to a professional firm. ### Which MCA forms are due every year? AOC-4 (financial statements) and MGT-7/MGT-7A (annual return) after the AGM, DIR-3 KYC for directors, DPT-3 for deposits and outstanding loans, and MSME-1 twice a year if dues to micro or small suppliers are delayed beyond 45 days. Event-based forms such as PAS-3, MGT-14, DIR-12 and SH-7 are filed when the event happens. ### Who can conduct a secretarial audit? A practising Company Secretary.
