What is the late fee for MGT-7?
MGT-7 (or MGT-7A for a small company or OPC) carries the same structure as AOC-4: an additional filing fee under the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014, that scales with every day past the due date and does not cap out.
Section 92(5) opens a further, separate penalty on the company and its officers for the underlying default. We have not published an exact figure for that penalty here because the cap amount is only single-sourced in what we have checked so far, and we would rather leave a gap than guess at it.
Work out the additional fee for your own dates in the calculator below, and get in touch before the section 92(5) track becomes the more expensive problem.
Worked example: 52 days late
Due 2026-11-29, filed 2027-01-20.
₹5,200 (52 days x ₹100/day, uncapped)
This additional fee is separate from a statutory penalty MCA can open on the company and its officers under section 92(5). We haven't published exact penalty figures for that section yet because the cap amount is only single-sourced so far. Get in touch before it reaches that stage.
Common questions
Is MGT-7A the same fee as MGT-7?
Yes, the additional fee rule is the same one under the 2014 fees rules regardless of whether the company files MGT-7 or the small-company/OPC variant MGT-7A.
What is the section 92(5) penalty amount?
The mechanism is confirmed, a penalty applies on the company and its officers, but we have not seen the exact cap figure corroborated by more than one source yet, so we are not stating a number until it is.
Does the MGT-7 additional fee stop at some point?
No, it keeps accruing per day late with no cap, the same way the AOC-4 additional fee does.
This calculator does documentation and filing facilitation work. It is not legal advice, and it only covers the forms we hold a sourced fee rule for. AOC-4 and MGT-7 additional fees are one part of the cost of running late. Get in touch if the figure above needs confirming before you pay it.
