Common questions

CCFS 2026, statute-cited.

What is the CCFS 2026 scheme?+

The Companies (Compliance Filing Scheme) — CCFS 2026 — waives 90% of the additional fees payable on late MCA filings made during the scheme window, per the MCA general circular extending the window to 31 August 2026 (MCA General Circular 03/2026 dated 8 July 2026). The waiver applies to the additional late fee; the normal filing fee and any other statutory charges remain payable.

Which forms are covered?+

The scheme covers standard annual and event-based filings including AOC-4 (financial statements), MGT-7 / MGT-7A (annual return), ADT-1 (auditor appointment), PAS-3 (return of allotment), DIR-12 (director changes) and SH-7 (share capital changes) — this calculator's supported list. Companies with struck-off, under-liquidation, amalgamated or dormant status are excluded from the scheme.

What are the late-fee rates the waiver applies to?+

The underlying additional fee is ₹100 per day per form under s.403 of the Companies Act 2013, which accrues until the form is filed. CCFS 2026 wipes 90% of that accrued amount for eligible filings in the window, which is why acting before the 31 August 2026 deadline matters — the longer you wait, the more the underlying additional fee grows even at 10% payable.

Does the scheme waive the underlying filing fee?+

No — the waiver applies only to the additional late fee, not to the normal statutory filing fee or any penalties imposed separately (for example, penalties for non-filing under s.137 or s.92 are a different route). The calculator lets you enter the additional fee figure you see on MCA and shows exactly what you'd pay under the scheme.

How do I file under the scheme?+

You file the covered forms on the MCA21 portal (efiling.mca.gov.in) within the scheme window and the 90% waiver is applied at filing. After the window closes the calculator reports the scheme as closed for reference only — so check the current circular before relying on the date, as MCA has already extended it once.
