The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has granted a one-time relaxation on additional filing fees for 13 specified e-forms, as part of the transition from MCA21 Version 2 (V2) to Version 3 (V3).
As per General Circular No. 01/2025, issued on June 16, 2025, the ministry has announced that no additional fees will be charged for delayed filings of these select e-forms if the due date or resubmission date falls between June 18 and July 31, 2025. These filings can be made without penalty up to August 15, 2025.
This decision follows the scheduled system migration from June 18 to July 13, 2025, during which the filing of the specified e-forms (listed in the official annexure) will remain suspended. The transition is part of the MCA's broader digital infrastructure upgrade to enhance user experience and compliance efficiency through MCA21 V3.
Key Highlights
- Filing Window Affected: June 18 to July 13, 2025
- Forms Covered: 13 specified e-forms (refer annexure)
- Relaxation Period: Filings with due/resubmission dates between June 18 and July 31, 2025
- New Deadline Without Fees: Up to August 15, 2025
The MCA urged stakeholders to file promptly once the system goes live to avoid last-minute delays and ensure smooth compliance.
This temporary relief comes as a welcome step for corporates and compliance professionals navigating the transition, reducing the burden caused by technical downtime and ensuring continuity in statutory filings.
