The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has decided to temporarily waive extra fees for submitting 13 online form. This decision is part of the switch from the old version of their online system (Version 2) to a new and improved version (Version 3). This change is intended to make it easier for businesses to adapt to the updated system.
The ministry, as per General Circular No. 01/2025, issued on June 16, 2025, has announced that no other fees shall be imposed for the late filings of these chosen e-forms if the deadline or resubmission date is between June 18 and July 31, 2025. Such filings could be made without penalty up to August 15, 2025.
The scheduled system migration from June 18 to July 13, 2025, has been complied with the same decision, which the filing of the said e-forms (listed in the official annexure) will stay suspended.
The same transition is within the wider digital infrastructure upgrade of the MCA to enhance user experience and compliance efficiency via MCA21 V3.
