CCFS-2026 is a one-time scheme by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs that allows companies to regularise delayed filings at significantly reduced additional fees and offers options for inactive companies to become dormant or be struck off.
Companies can complete pending annual filings by paying only 10% of the total additional fees that would normally be due, instead of the full penalty amount.
The scheme is operational for a three-month period, from 15 April 2026 to 15 July 2026.
Yes, inactive companies can apply for dormant status by filing Form MSC-1 with half the normal filing fee, or apply for strike-off via Form STK-2 by paying just 25% of the applicable fee.
Yes, companies already under final notice for strike-off, those that have applied for strike-off or dormant status, companies dissolved through amalgamation, and vanishing companies are not eligible.
After 15 July 2026, Registrars of Companies will begin taking action against companies that remain non-compliant and have not used the scheme.
