MCA Grants Relaxation for Annual Filings (FY 2024-25) under Companies Act.
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA)- General Circular No. 06/2025
In view of the deployment of the new e-Forms, and considering that companies may require some time to get familiarized with the filing process, and keeping in view the requests received from various stakeholders, it has been decided that companies will be allowed to complete their annual filings pertaining to FY 2024-25
The MCA has provided relaxation in payment of additional fees and extension of time for filing annual returns and financial statements under the Companies Act, 2013.
Key Highlights:
1️⃣ Extended Filing Time:
Companies can file AOC-4, MGT-7, MGT-7A, and related forms for FY 2024-25 till 31st Dec 2025 without any additional fees.
2️⃣ Reason for Relaxation:
To allow companies to adapt to the newly deployed e-Forms on the MCA-21 Version 3 portal.
3️⃣ AGM Timelines Unchanged:
This relaxation does not extend the AGM due date — non-compliance will still attract legal consequences.
4️⃣ After 31st Dec 2025:
Normal + additional filing fees will apply as per rules.
A welcome move for corporates adjusting to the upgraded MCA-21 system.
