Many users are encountering a persistent "Form Properties Not Maintained" error when trying to file various forms on the MCA website, including DIR-12, MSME returns, and others like INC-20A, CHG-1, and MGT-7. This issue appears to be widespread, causing significant disruption for professionals. Initial suggestions include trying different browsers like Microsoft Edge, disabling pop-up blockers, and working on files locally rather than from network drives. Some users have also found success by renaming files or attempting multiple uploads.
Do not work the file from the network system. Download the file from MCA and work in the same system. Complete it, prescrutinze, and file it if no error is reported.
