MGT-7 / MGT-7A — annual return
The company's annual return: shareholding, directors, meetings held and changes during the year. MGT-7A is the abridged version for small companies and one-person companies. Issued and governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Below: who files it, when, and the mistake that costs people the most — plus the free tools for the PDFs that come with it, all of which run on your device.

Who files MGT-7
Every registered company. Which of the two versions applies depends on the company's category.
When
Generally within a period after the annual general meeting, separate from the AOC-4 deadline — the two are frequently confused.
The thing people get wrong
The shareholding and directorship details must agree with what has actually been filed during the year. If a share transfer or a director change was never filed, this return either contradicts the register or repeats the omission, and both are visible on the public record.
Where to get the current MGT-7
From the MCA portal. Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). We deliberately do not host a copy of any government form. They are revised without notice, and a stale file served from here would be worse than none — you would file it and find out months later.
The tools people need around MGT-7
MGT-7 is filed with the authority, not with us. What we do is the document work around it — the part where a payroll portal caps uploads at a few megabytes, or two certificates have to become one file, or a statement has to become rows you can total.

Can DiemDesk file MGT-7 for me?
No, and nothing here does. We are document tools, not a filing service. What we help with is the paperwork around the filing — combining certificates, compressing a scan under a portal's upload limit, turning a statement into a spreadsheet, or redacting an account number before you forward something. All of it runs in your browser.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. The in-browser tools open and rebuild the file on your own device, so a Form 16 or a bank statement never leaves it. Open your browser's Network tab and you will see no request carrying the file.
