AGM should be held in the earliest of the following dates:
· six months from the date of the close of the financial year.
· Within 15 months from last annual general meeting
· Last date of next calendar year.
However, Ro0C has the discretion to grant extension of time upto 3 months to hold the AGM on reasonable grounds.
RoC has power to launch prosecution against a company for delayed/non-filing of returns. In case of delayed filing, normal fee + additional fee shall be payable.
So based on above provisions of the Act, necessary actions have to be taken to comply with the same.
Annual Return is to be filed within 60 days from the date of AGM.

In your case annual return should be filed in 60 days that is before 30.11.2010. Now if you file the return it would attract additional fees @ 9 times of the filing fees.
Further section 162 states the following in respect to annual return:
Penalty and interpretation.
162. (1) If a company fails to comply with any of the provisions contained in section 159, 160 or 161, the company, and every officer of the company who is in default, shall be punishable with fine which may extend to 80[five hundred] rupees for every day during which the default continues.
(2) For the purposes of this section and sections 159, 160 and 161, the expressions “officer” and “director” shall include any person in accordance with whose directions or instructions the Board of directors of the company is accustomed to act.
======================================
Also filing of annual return is necessary as non filing of annual return for continuously three years would disqualify the directors for being appointed as director in other companies
