For OPC: Return Filing Provisions & AGM
· Section 137 of the Companies Act, 2013
One Person Company shall file a copy of the financial statements duly adopted by its member, along with all the documents which are required to be attached to such financial statements, within one hundred eighty (180) days from the closure of the financial year
· AGM not Applicable for OPC: Section 96
(1) Every company other than a One Person Company shall in each year hold in addition to any other meetings, a general meeting as its annual general meeting and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and not more than fifteen months shall elapse between the date of one annual general meeting of a company and that of the next:
For FY 2019-20: OPC Annual Filing & AGM
Due date for Annual Filing was 27.09.2020 and can be filed till 31.12.2020 without any additional fee under CFSS, 2020 but at present, CFSS is finished. So in case return has not been filed, Penalty (additional fees) will be levied from the due date (27.09.2020).
Further AGM Provisions under Section 96 of CA, 2013 are not applicable to One Person Company (OPC). AGM Extension will not work for OPC because the due date for filing Annual Returns is 180 days from the closure of FY not from the date of AGM.
In case you want to conduct AGM voluntary for OPC, you are required to conduct the same before the due date of return i.e. 27.09.2020.
AGM extension orders not applicable on OPC and hence OPC can't conduct their AGM (Voluntary) beyond 27.09.2020.
