What compliances must a private limited company file?+
Every private limited company must complete annual ROC filings (AOC-4 and MGT-7) and have a statutory audit each year, regardless of turnover, plus income tax, and GST and TDS where applicable.
Does a dormant or zero-revenue company still have to file?+
Yes. Annual ROC filings and the statutory audit are mandatory regardless of turnover or whether the company did any business.

The statutory audit must be done by a CA. Most other filings are self-serve, or need a CS only for certain structural changes. Each guide says who, if anyone, must sign.
