Annual Return of Deposits
Annual Return of Deposits
Companies that accept loans, deposits, or money from directors or related parties must report these details to the MCA every year. This is done through the Annual Return of Deposits. It helps the government track outstanding loans and ensures companies aren’t violating the deposit rules.
We prepare and file the return accurately so you stay compliant and avoid penalties.

Why this matters
A small reporting mistake can classify a normal loan as a “deposit,” which invites penalties. Filing the return protects your company from scrutiny and keeps your records clean with the ROC.
