If your company has pending ROC filings, here is some good news. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has given you more time. The Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme, 2026 (CCFS-2026), which was earlier set to close on 15th July 2026, has now been extended up to 31st August 2026.
This extension was announced through MCA General Circular No. 03/2026 dated 8th July 2026. The reason is practical — a fire incident at the MCA data centre on 5th June 2026 led to capacity restoration work, so the government decided to give companies extra time. Importantly, only the closing date has changed. All the benefits of the scheme remain exactly the same.
What Is CCFS-2026 ?
CCFS stands for Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme
CCFS-2026 is a one-time relief scheme for companies registered under the Companies Act, 2013. It lets companies with overdue filings clear their backlog with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) at a much lower cost. If you have missed forms like AOC-4, MGT-7, MGT-7A or ADT-1 for one or more years, this is your chance to become compliant again.
How much do you save with this CCFS scheme in 2026 ?
Under normal rules, late filing attracts an additional fee of ₹100 per day, per form — with no upper limit. For companies pending for several years, this can run into lakhs. Under CCFS-2026, you pay only the normal filing fee plus 10% of the additional fees. That is a saving of up to 90%.
The scheme also helps inactive companies:
- Apply for dormant status (Form MSC-1) at 50% of the normal fee.
- Apply for strike-off (Form STK-2) at just 25% of the filing fee.
You also get immunity from penalties under Sections 92 and 137 of the Companies Act, subject to conditions.
Why should companies grab the benefits of the CCFS scheme now ?
An extension is not a reason to relax — it is a final window. After 31st August 2026, the normal ₹100-per-day penalty returns, and the ROC can begin adjudication and strike-off action against defaulting companies. Directors of companies that fail to file for three continuous years can even face disqualification for five years.
There is also a practical problem with waiting. Filing under CCFS-2026 is not just clicking “submit.” Most companies need to prepare audited financial statements, pass board resolutions, check DSC and DIN KYC validity, and reconstruct old records. This takes time. And in the last two weeks, the MCA V3 portal usually gets crowded, forms get rejected, and small mistakes cost people the benefit they waited months for. Early filing is simply safer.
