14 April 2012 A Company can change its financial year with the approval of board. However as per section 210, no financial year shall exceed 15 months and with special permission 18 months. Hence, in ur case financial year cannot be 21 months.
The financial year in ur case shall be July 01 to March 31st for 9 months and thereafter April to March.
Form 61 can be filed with ROC.
