XBRL Filing of Financial Statements with the MCA

Last updated: 2 October 2026

Larger companies must file their financial statements with the MCA in XBRL format rather than as PDF. Our team prepares the XBRL instance document from your audited accounts, validates it and files it with Form AOC-4 XBRL.

Overview

Which companies must file in XBRL

Under the Companies (Filing of Documents and Forms in XBRL) Rules, 2015, the following companies file financial statements in XBRL:

  • Listed companies and their Indian subsidiaries.
  • Companies with paid-up capital of ₹5 crore or more.
  • Companies with turnover of ₹100 crore or more.
  • Companies required to prepare financial statements under Ind AS.

Banking, insurance, power and non-banking financial companies are excluded. XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) tags each figure in the balance sheet, profit and loss statement and notes, so the MCA can read and compare data. The instance document is validated with the MCA’s tools and filed with Form AOC-4 XBRL, within 30 days of the AGM.

Based on the Companies Act, 2013 and the rules made under it. Last updated: 27 September 2026.

Common Issues

Where XBRL filings commonly go wrong

Errors in tagging are hard to spot but visible to the regulator.

Wrong tags

Figures tagged to the wrong element, so the MCA data does not match the audited accounts.

Applicability missed

A company crosses ₹5 crore capital or ₹100 crore turnover and still files in PDF.

Validation left late

Errors found close to the due date, leading to late fees.
