MCA Extends DPT-3 Late Fee Waiver
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has announced an extension of the waiver for late fees related to the filing of Form DPT-3 until 31st July 2026. This decision comes in response to the service disruptions experienced following a fire at a data center in June 2026, which impacted filing capabilities for companies.
By allowing companies more time to comply without incurring additional fees, this extension is expected to alleviate pressure on businesses that were affected by the incident. The MCA recognizes the necessity of providing relief to corporate entities during unforeseen disruptions.
Practitioners should take note of this extension as it presents a significant opportunity for companies to address compliance without additional financial penalties. Ensuring timely and accurate filings remains crucial, especially in light of the extended deadline.
