Indonesia has introduced enforceable sanctions for late annual report submissions under Regulation 49/2025. Learn what companies must do to remain compliant.
Indonesia has introduced clear procedures and enforceable sanctions for late annual report submissions.
Minister of Law Regulation No. 49 of 2025 (“Regulation 49/2025”) formalises how companies must submit their annual reports and introduces real operational consequences for non-compliance.
For directors and shareholders, this regulation changes annual reporting from a formality into a mandatory compliance obligation.
Regulation 49/2025 implements and enforces annual report obligations under Indonesian Companies Law (Law No. 40 of 2007, as amended).
Previously, companies were required to submit annual reports, but:
Regulation 49/2025 closes these gaps.
Deadline: Annual reports must be approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS) within six months after the end of the financial year.
This deadline has not changed.
What has changed is what must happen after GMS approval.
Under Regulation 49/2025, companies must now follow a strict post-GMS procedure:
The GMS resolution approving the annual report must be restated in a notarial deed.
Within 30 calendar days after the notarial deed is signed, the board of directors must submit an electronic notification via the Legal Entity Administration System (SABH).
The submission must include:

Without this acknowledgement, the annual report is not considered properly filed.
Regulation 49/2025 introduces enforceable sanctions for non-compliance.
Companies that miss the deadline may face:

SABH is required for director changes, shareholder updates, capital amendments, and other corporate filings.
