Ministry of Corporate Affairs Notifies Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme, 2026

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has introduced the Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme, 2026 (CCFS-2026), offering defaulting companies a one-time opportunity to regularise delayed annual returns and financial statements. The Scheme will operate from April 15 to July 15, 2026.

Under the Scheme, companies can complete pending filings by paying only 10% of the additional fees otherwise payable.

Inactive companies may apply for dormant status on payment of 50% of normal filing fees, while companies seeking strike-off can do so by paying 25% of the applicable fee.

The initiative aims to ease compliance burdens and ensure updated corporate records.
