Regulation 49/2025: New Sanctions for Late Annual Report Submissions in Indonesia

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

What Is Regulation 49/2025?

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: 

  • No clear submission process existed 
  • No administrative sanctions were defined 
  • Enforcement was inconsistent 

Regulation 49/2025 closes these gaps. 

Annual Report Deadline in Indonesia

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

New Annual Report Submission Process

Under Regulation 49/2025, companies must now follow a strict post-GMS procedure: 

1. GMS Approval Must Be Notarised

The GMS resolution approving the annual report must be restated in a notarial deed

2. Mandatory SABH Notification

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: 

  • The notarial deed 
  • The full annual report 

3. Official Acknowledgement

The Ministry of Law will issue an electronic acknowledgement of receipt once the submission is complete. 

Without this acknowledgement, the annual report is not considered properly filed. 

Administrative Sanctions for Late Submission

Regulation 49/2025 introduces enforceable sanctions for non-compliance. 

Companies that miss the deadline may face: 

  • Written warnings via SABH and/or email 
  • Suspension of SABH access if non-compliance continues after 30 days 

To restore access, the company must: 

  • Submit an unblocking request via SABH 
  • Upload all required documents 

Why SABH Suspension Is a Serious Risk

SABH access is required for many corporate actions, including: 

  • Changes to directors or shareholders 
  • Capital amendments 
  • Corporate restructurings 
  • Certain licensing and legal filings 

A suspension can delay or halt business operations

Expanded Scope of Annual Reports

Annual reports must now fully comply with Article 16 of Regulation 49/2025, including: 

  • Complete financial statements 
  • Management reports 
  • Social and environmental responsibility disclosures 

This may increase preparation time and compliance costs. 

Key Takeaways

To remain compliant, companies should: 

  • Prepare financial statements early 
  • Schedule the GMS well before the six-month deadline 
  • Coordinate with notaries in advance 
  • Track SABH submissions and confirmations 

Annual reporting should be treated as a compliance process, not a year-end task.
