The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) vide General Circular No. 01/2025 dated June 16, 2025, has announced a relaxation on additional fees for filing 13 specified e-forms during the transition from MCA21 Version 2 to Version 3. Due to a system migration, these forms will be unavailable from June 18 to July 13, 2025. Filings with due or resubmission dates between June 18 and July 31, 2025, can be submitted without extra fees until August 15, 2025. This one-time fee waiver aims to ease the filing process amid technical constraints during the upgrade. Stakeholders are encouraged to file promptly once the new system goes live.
This is to inform that in view of the transition of the MCA21 portal from Version 2 (V2) to Version 3 (V3) and to facilitate a smooth roll out of Annual filing and related e-forms in MCA-21 V3, the Ministry has scheduled a system migration phase during which e-Forms (as per Annexure) will be temporarily unavailable for filing from 18.06.2025 and 13.07.2025 (both dates inclusive).
Accordingly, to facilitate smooth filing experience for stakeholders, the competent authority has decided that, in cases where the due date (i.e., the last date for filing without additional fees) or resubmission date falls between 18.06.2025 and 31.07.2025 (both dates inclusive), filing of the said e-Forms shall be allowed without levying any additional fees up to 15.08.2025.
