Dear @MCA21India

1. The current CCFS is ending today, and from the morning the website has not been working properly. This has been an unfortunate pain of professionals, every last date of due date.

You are requested to kindly extend the scheme due date ideally to December'26 end.

2. You are requested to consider extention of this scheme to March 2027, and allowing all the non Compliances including UDINs and to allow a comprehensive coverage and opportunities to make all things good for genuine stakeholders.

3. You may also consider the fact that, the sceme period coincided with current year audit and taxation period for CAs which is their peak period and primary concern. So many CAs have taken the piled up accounting work late.

There are few other matters and things also I would like to represent to make the Compliances less complex and fruitful, but currently,

I rest my case with two prayers:
1. Extend the current CCFS to December 26
2. Extend the scheme, to March 2027 by making it comprehensive and allowing non Compliances of UDINs also to make the way out for genuine stakeholders to make the things good.

Request to MCA:- The CCFS Scheme,2026 deadline should be extended, as the MCA portal is facing frequent technical issue.
If the Annual Filing fees are rationalised, there may be little need for an extension.

[CS Dilip Kumar Choudhary @dilip241]

Dear @MCA21India,

There are endless problems on the MCA V3 portal.

Whenever the filing due dates approach, the portal seems to get upset with professionals. Despite repeated attempts and sufficient proof of the portal not functioning properly, professionals hardly get a fair opportunity or extension to complete their filings.

We sincerely request the MCA to make the portal stable, smooth and robust enough to enable professionals to file forms even at the last minute, as is expected from any statutory filing portal.

It is genuinely heart-wrenching for professionals to spend hours attempting filings, capture screenshots and videos as proof of technical failures, and then repeatedly request for an extension.

Since the launch of V3, the form-filing process has become significantly more lengthy and complicated, while frequent technical glitches make it even more difficult to complete filings accurately and within the prescribed timelines.

Keeping in mind the genuine difficulties being faced by professionals, we strongly request MCA to kindly consider an extension of the due date for CCFS filings and provide adequate relief to the professional fraternity.

We hope MCA will take immediate and practical steps to address these recurring issues and ensure a reliable filing experience for all stakeholders.

@MCA21India @HelpdeskMCA21V3 @nsitharaman @nsitharamanoffc @icsi_cs @theicai
To
The Secretary
Ministry of Corporate Affairs
Government of India
New Delhi
Subject: Request for Extension of the Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme, 2026 (CCFS-2026) by a Further One Month
Respected Sir/Madam,
Sub: Request for extension of the Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme, 2026 (CCFS-2026) beyond 31 August 2026 – Reg.
I respectfully submit this representation seeking a further extension of one month of the Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme, 2026 (CCFS-2026), beyond 31 August 2026, in view of the genuine and practical difficulties being faced by companies, professionals and other stakeholders in availing the benefits of the Scheme within the existing time frame.

At the outset, I wish to place on record my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the Hon'ble Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs for introducing this historic and much-needed compliance facilitation initiative.

The introduction of CCFS-2026 is a significant step towards providing an opportunity to defaulting companies to regularise their pending statutory compliances and make a fresh beginning. The Scheme has the potential to provide substantial relief to more than five lakh companies, along with their directors, shareholders, creditors, employees, professionals and other stakeholders.

1. CCFS-2026 – A Historic Opportunity for Companies

CCFS-2026 is not merely a scheme for reduction of additional fees. It provides an important opportunity for companies that have suffered compliance defaults to come back into the formal compliance framework.

A considerable number of companies are genuinely willing to continue their business operations and maintain regular statutory compliance. Once their pending filings are cleared and their compliance status is regularised, these companies can continue as good-compliance companies, contributing to the formal economy and the overall business ecosystem.

The Scheme therefore has a much wider objective than merely clearing pending forms. It can provide:

A fresh compliance start for defaulting companies;

Relief from accumulated additional fees;

Peace of mind to companies and their stakeholders;

Greater transparency in corporate records;

Better compliance culture among companies;
Improved confidence of investors, lenders, creditors and business partners; and
Clearance of a large backlog of pending statutory filings.
2. Clearance of Pending Compliance Will Boost Business Activity
The successful utilisation of CCFS-2026 will help bring a large number of companies back into the mainstream compliance system.
Once pending annual filings and other statutory compliances are completed, companies will be in a much better position to undertake business activities, approach banks and financial institutions, participate in commercial transactions, maintain investor confidence and comply with other regulatory requirements.
Thus, good corporate compliance and clearance of pending filings will ultimately support and boost business activity and economic growth.
The Scheme should therefore be given sufficient time to achieve its intended objective.

3. A Large Number of Companies Are Still in the Pipeline

Although the Scheme has generated considerable interest among companies, professionals and stakeholders, a substantial number of companies are still in the process of collecting financial statements, finalising accounts, obtaining approvals, preparing annual filing documents, arranging professional certification and completing other statutory requirements.

There are also companies that initially faced uncertainty regarding the Scheme and started their compliance process only after understanding its benefits and the practical procedure for filing.

As a result, the effective period available for actually utilising the Scheme has become considerably shorter than the apparent duration of the Scheme.

A further extension of one month would provide a final opportunity for such companies to complete their pending compliance and avail the benefit of the Scheme.

4. Introduction of the Scheme Coincided with the Transition to V3 Annual Filing Forms

One of the major practical difficulties faced by companies and professionals is that CCFS-2026 was introduced at a time when the annual filing forms had already moved to the V3 system.

The filing process in V3 is substantially different from the earlier V2 system.

Under the earlier V2 mechanism, much of the form preparation could be completed offline and the user was required to be online primarily at the time of uploading the completed form.

In contrast, several V3 forms involve an online filing process, requiring users to remain connected to the MCA portal for various stages of preparation and submission.

This has significantly increased dependence on the portal's real-time availability and performance.

5. Heavy Portal Traffic and Multiple Login Issues

Since a very large number of companies are attempting to utilise CCFS-2026 during the final period of the Scheme, the number of simultaneous users and online sessions has increased substantially.

The practical experience of companies, professionals and stakeholders indicates that the MCA system is facing considerable load during peak hours.

Users are experiencing:

Difficulty in logging in;

Slow loading of pages;

Sessions getting interrupted;

Difficulty in opening forms;

Delays in saving information;
Repeated attempts being required to complete transactions;
Difficulty in uploading/submitting forms; and
Delays in completing the overall filing process.
When thousands of companies and professionals are simultaneously attempting to complete their filings before the deadline, these technical difficulties have a direct impact on the ability of genuine applicants to utilise the Scheme.
6. Data Centre Fire and Restoration Activities
In addition to the normal system load, the MCA portal has also been affected by the data centre fire and the subsequent restoration and system recovery activities.
The restoration of critical infrastructure and associated system activities have understandably created additional operational constraints.

While the efforts of the Ministry and technical teams in restoring the system are highly appreciated, the resulting slowdown and intermittent performance have further reduced the effective time available to companies and professionals to complete CCFS-2026 filings.

7. Difficulties in BharatKosh Payment Processing

Another significant practical difficulty is the payment process through the BharatKosh portal.

The BharatKosh website has also been undergoing updation/maintenance activities since 7 August 2026, adding another layer of difficulty to the process of completing statutory payments.

In practice, users are frequently required to make multiple attempts to initiate or complete payment transactions.

In certain cases, the user's bank account is debited, but the corresponding challan is not generated immediately. This creates uncertainty and forces the user to wait, verify the transaction status and, in some cases, make repeated attempts.

Such payment-related difficulties are particularly serious during the last few days of a time-bound compliance scheme.

8. Genuine Hardship Being Faced by Companies, Professionals and Stakeholders

The difficulties referred to above are not attributable to unwillingness or negligence on the part of companies or professionals.

A large number of professionals and stakeholders are working day and night, alongside their regular professional commitments, to help companies clear their pending compliances and avail the benefits of CCFS-2026.

However, technical constraints, portal load, online filing requirements, payment-related issues and the short effective period have created genuine hardship.

Therefore, companies that have made bona fide efforts to comply should not lose the benefit of this historic Scheme merely because of circumstances beyond their control.

9. Representation by The Institute of Company Secretaries of India

It is also respectfully submitted that the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) has already made representations to the Ministry seeking extension of CCFS-2026, including representations dated 20 August 2026 and 28 August 2026.

The fact that the professional body has also approached the Ministry demonstrates that the difficulties being experienced are widespread and are being felt across the professional and corporate compliance ecosystem.

Companies, stakeholders and professionals are also making repeated requests for an extension of at least one further month so that the Scheme can achieve its intended purpose.

10. Extension Will Increase the Success of the Scheme

The objective of CCFS-2026 is to facilitate compliance.

Accordingly, extending the Scheme by another one month would not dilute the objective of the Scheme. On the contrary, it would increase the number of companies that can successfully utilise the Scheme.

An additional month would enable:

Companies to complete their pending accounts and statutory records;

Professionals to finalise and certify pending forms;

Companies to overcome portal-related difficulties;

Users to complete online filing without excessive system congestion;

Payment-related issues to be resolved;
Pending challans and transactions to be properly reconciled;
Companies currently in the pipeline to complete their filings; and
The Ministry to realise the maximum possible benefit from CCFS-2026.
11. Peace of Mind for Companies and Stakeholders
A large number of companies have been carrying historical compliance defaults for several years.
CCFS-2026 has provided these companies with an opportunity to resolve their past compliance issues and move forward.
Successful utilisation of the Scheme will provide considerable peace of mind not only to the companies but also to their directors, shareholders, creditors, employees, professionals and other stakeholders.
It will also provide greater certainty regarding the company's statutory records and compliance status.

12. A Final Extension Would Be in the Larger Public Interest

Considering the enormous scale of the Scheme, the transition to the V3 filing environment, the online nature of annual filing, heavy portal traffic, technical difficulties, payment-related issues and the large number of companies still in the pipeline, a further extension would be fully justified.

A one-month extension beyond 31 August 2026, up to 30 September 2026, would provide a reasonable and practical window for companies that are genuinely attempting to comply.

It would also allow the professional community to assist their clients effectively without compromising the quality and accuracy of statutory filings.

13. CCFS-2026 Should Be Fully Utilised

CCFS-2026 is a historic and unprecedented compliance facilitation initiative.

The Scheme has the potential to permanently improve the compliance ecosystem by bringing a very large number of defaulting companies back into the regular compliance framework.

The success of such a historic Scheme should ideally be measured not merely by the number of days for which it was available, but by the maximum number of eligible companies that are ultimately able to utilise it.

If even a significant number of companies are unable to avail the Scheme solely because of technical and practical constraints during the final days, the full potential of this historic initiative may not be realised.

Prayer

In view of the above circumstances, I most respectfully request the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and the Hon'ble Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, to kindly consider:

1. Extending the Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme, 2026 (CCFS-2026) for a further period of at least one month beyond 31 August 2026, preferably up to 30 September 2026;

2. Providing adequate additional time to companies, professionals and stakeholders who are genuinely attempting to complete their pending statutory compliances; and

3. Considering the extension as a facilitative measure in the larger public interest so that the maximum possible number of eligible companies can utilise this historic Scheme.

Such an extension would be a great relief to thousands of companies, professionals and stakeholders who are presently working under considerable pressure to complete the pending compliances.

It would also reinforce the Ministry's objective of promoting ease of compliance, transparency, corporate governance and a stronger formal business ecosystem.

I sincerely hope that the Ministry will kindly consider this request sympathetically and provide one final opportunity of an additional one month for full and effective utilisation of CCFS-2026.

The extension would undoubtedly go a long way in ensuring that the benefits of this historic compliance facilitation initiative reach the maximum possible number of companies and stakeholders.

I once again place on record my sincere appreciation to the Hon'ble Minister and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs for introducing CCFS-2026 and for taking this progressive step towards facilitating corporate compliance.

Yours faithfully,

P.Mohanprabhu

[CA Akshit Singhal @CAAkshitSinghal]

Dear @MCA21India & @nsitharaman,
A humble request from the entire professional fraternity ahead of the upcoming filing season:

We can land a rover on the moon, but filing a basic corporate form on the MCA V3 portal without encountering a "DSC not registered," "Form submission failed," or an endless loading screen is still a daily miracle.

Professionals are spending 80% of their time fighting the portal's technical glitches and 20% actually auditing the financial statements.

Late fees are penalizing companies for the government's server capacities. If the portal cannot handle the traffic, the statutory deadlines should automatically freeze.

Fix the V3 architecture before issuing penalty notices for late filings.

📌 Retweet if MCA V3 has wasted your weekend.
