The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has introduced a 3-month compliance window (15 April 2026 – 15 July 2026) to help defaulting companies regularize filings at significantly reduced cost.
✔ Only 10% of additional fees payable for delayed annual filings
✔ Dormant status available at 50% of normal fees
✔ Strike off option at 25% of filing fees
✔ Immunity from penalty in specified cases
This is a valuable opportunity for MSMEs, private companies, OPCs and inactive entities to clean up compliance records or exit smoothly.
After 15 July 2026, strict action may follow.
Timely decision-making is critical.
