Home / Company Law & Secretarial Services / XBRL Filing of Financial Statements of Financial Statements

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

A company crosses ₹5 crore capital or ₹100 crore turnover and still files in PDF.
Errors found close to the due date, leading to late fees.
