The facts

Who files: Every top-tier holding company of these kinds: bank holding companies; savings and loan holding companies; U.S. intermediate holding companies; and securities holding companies authorised under section 618 of the Dodd-Frank Act. In a group with several tiers, the top-tier company files for the group. Source
How often: Once a year, as at the top-tier holding company's fiscal year end. Source
Deadline: Due within 90 calendar days of the end of the top-tier company's fiscal year. Where the holding company's audit also serves the FDIC's Part 363 audit rules, its timing follows Part 363: generally, a public holding company has 90 days from fiscal year end (the FR Y-6 deadline) to have its audited financial statements on file for its Reserve Bank, and a non-public top-tier company has 120 days.
