Annual Filing Deadline Extended to 31st December 2025 – No Additional Fees

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has rolled out a much-awaited relief in view of the recent deployment of revised annual filing e-Forms (MGT-7, MGT-7A, AOC-4 and related variants including CFS, NBFC, Ind AS & XBRL) on the MCA-21 V3 portal.

Key Highlights of the General Circular:

1. Companies can now file their annual returns and financial statements for FY 2024-25 up to 31st December 2025 without payment of additional fees.
2. This relaxation has been provided to allow familiarisation with the new e-form structure and filing process.
3. No extension in AGM timelines – Companies must still comply with statutory AGM due dates. Non-adherence will continue to attract legal consequences under the Act.
4. Any filings beyond the relaxation window will attract normal and additional fees as per the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014.

This move will significantly ease compliance pressure on corporates and profession
