FAQ :

ICSI is requesting a one-time extension for the Company Compliance Facilitation Scheme (CCFS) 2026, preferably until September 30, 2026.

ICSI has cited practical difficulties faced by companies and professionals, including pending financial and tax matters, challenges in regularising long-standing defaults, issues with DIN and DSC, and a heavy compliance workload.

The article highlights difficulties faced by SMEs, inactive companies, entities with prolonged non-compliance, and companies undergoing revival or restoration proceedings.

Reasons include pending income-tax compliances, reconciliation of financial records, tracing and compiling old records, obtaining approvals, renewing DSCs, reactivating DINs, and the concentration of statutory work in August-September.

No, ICSI has requested the extension, but it has not yet been granted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Companies should continue to follow the current timeline unless a formal notification is issued.
