MCA
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has announced the launch of the final set of 38 company forms, including 13 annual filing forms and 6 audit/cost audit forms, scheduled to go live on the MCA21 V3 portal from 14th July 2025 at 12:00 AM. This transition is part of MCA’s ongoing efforts to enhance service delivery and digital governance.
To ensure smooth implementation, stakeholders must note that company e-filings on the V2 portal will be disabled from 18th June 2025 (12:00 AM). Therefore, all filings and resubmissions under V2 must be completed, and no Service Request Numbers (SRNs) should remain in pending payment or resubmission status beyond this date. Additionally, offline payments through the “Pay Later” option on V2 will be discontinued from 8th June 2025, and only online payments (via credit/debit cards or net banking) will be accepted thereafter.
In preparation for the transition, the MCA portal will be completely unavailable from 9th July 2025 (12:00 AM) to 13th July 2025 (11:59 PM). Stakeholders are advised to plan filings and resubmissions accordingly, as no fee waivers or deadline extensions will be granted for due dates falling within this downtime.
Furthermore, all users are required to create or upgrade their user IDs to the V3 system under the “Business user” category, and ensure that their Digital Signature Certificates (DSCs) are properly associated. Lastly, for SRNs currently showing statuses such as ‘Pending for upload of Investor details’ or ‘Pending for Subsidiary Details’, users must upload the required information through the MCA portal’s designated services by 17th June 2025, failing which such SRNs will be classified under the ‘NTBR’ (Not to be Registered) category.
