Prakash Kakani Director, PNS EV HubQuarterly Compliance Filings are regulatory requirements for companies to submit periodic reports and updates to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), SEBI, and other regulatory authorities. These filings ensure companies remain compliant with applicable laws and provide stakeholders with timely updates on their financial and operational performance.
Quarterly Compliance Filings are mandatory for companies, particularly listed entities, to maintain transparency and accountability. These filings typically include updates on financial results, shareholding patterns, board meetings, and compliance with statutory obligations. The objective is to ensure that companies adhere to regulatory frameworks and provide stakeholders with accurate, timely, and relevant information.
1. Legal Compliance : Ensures adherence to the Companies Act, SEBI regulations, and other applicable laws.
2. Transparency : Keeps shareholders and regulators informed about the company’s performance and operations.
3. Avoidance of Penalties : Non-compliance leads to fines and reputational damage.
4. Stakeholder Confidence : Builds trust among investors and other stakeholders.

Quarterly filings are mandatory for listed companies, GST-registered entities, and companies with TDS obligations.
Penalties vary depending on the filing. For example, delayed GST returns attract late fees and interest, while non-compliance with SEBI regulations can result in heavy fines.
Private companies are not required to file SEBI-related reports but must comply with GST, TDS, and MCA requirements.
Certain filings, like GST returns, allow revisions within specified deadlines, while others, such as SEBI filings, do not.
For listed companies, quarterly results may be unaudited but must be reviewed by the Audit Committee. However, the year-end financials require a statutory audit.
The board approves financial statements and other governance filings before submission to the respective authorities.
