The deadline for filing the Cost Audit Report (CAR) for the financial year 2020-21 has been extended to 31st October 2021.

The extension was issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) via a General Circular dated 27th September 2021.

The filing is governed by Rule 6(5) of the Companies (Cost Records and Audit) Rules, 2014.

Normally, the cost auditor must submit the CAR to the Board of Directors within 180 days from the end of the financial year, which is typically 27th September.
