Relaxation in payment of additional fee for delayed filing of e-Form DPT-3
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) vide General Circular No. 06/2023 dated 21st June 2023, for providing relaxation in payment of an additional fee for delay in filing e-Form DPT-3 for F.Y 2022-23.
As per Section 73 – 76A of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 16 of the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014, “Every company other than Government company, housing Finance Company, Non-banking Financial company (NBFC) and Banking company shall file a Return of Deposit in e-Form DPT-3 with the Registrar of Companies by furnishing details of outstanding loan or receipt of money as on 31st March.
e-Form DPT-3 is used for filing a Return of Deposit or Particulars of transaction not considered as a deposit or both by the company on or before 30th June every year.
But keeping in view the transition from the earlier MCA-21 portal to the newly launched V3 version of the MCA portal, MCA has allowed companies to file e-form DPT-3 for FY 2022-23 without payment of additional fees up to 31st July 2023.
