If master data exhibits status as 'dormant' ,necessarily ,company has to file e-form 61 first. After its approval, status will be changed to 'active in progress'. Then the company has to file all the pending returns with in 21 days from the date of the aforesaid approval. If complied with, the status will be changed to 'active' on approval of all the e-forms filed. No need to pay stamp duty except for the affidavit in support of the application to be attached with the e-form 61. However, normal as well as additional filing fee ,as per schedule X of the Companies Act,1956 ,has to be paid while e-filing the pending forms.
