Companies are normally required to file Form DPT-3 by 30 June 2026. However, the Ministry has decided to give a temporary relief to the stakeholders on account of capacity enhancement and restoration work being undertaken at the MCA Data Centre following a fire incident on 5 June 2026.

As per General Circular No. 02/2026, companies can now file Form DPT-3 for FY 2025-26 till 31 July 2026 without additional fees. The extension has been provided to save the companies from adverse impact due to technical disruptions arising out of the data centre incident.
