These companies are required to hold their AGMs within 120 days of the close of their financial year. Following the AGM, companies must file Form A where particulars have changed, while Form 24 is required to be filed where particulars remain unchanged from the last Annual Return. Single-member companies and private companies with paid-up capital of not more than Rs. 3 million are exempt from filing an Annual Return where there is no change in the particulars contained in their last return. Companies must also complete their annual UBO requirements, including issuing the required notices, obtaining declarations and updates, maintaining the UBO Register and filing Form-19 with the Registrar alongside their Annual Return. Where an Annual Return is not required, Form-19 must be filed within 30 days of the end of the calendar year. SECP encourages companies to review their records and prepare the required filings in advance to ensure timely compliance and keep corporate information up to date. For assistance, companies can contact the SECP Helpdesk at 0800-88008 or WhatsApp at 0326-7779999. For eZfile queries, they can call 051-9195307 or submit an online query through the SECP portal.
