Introduction to CCFS 2026

CCFS 2026, or Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme 2026, is an amnesty scheme introduced by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to help defaulting companies complete pending ROC filings at reduced additional fees. It provides eligible companies with up to 90% relief on late filing charges, along with benefits for dormant status and strike-off applications. The scheme offers businesses a limited-time opportunity to regularize compliance and avoid future penalties.

Why Did the Government Introduce CCFS 2026?

The government launched CCFS 2026 to help companies clear long-pending ROC compliances and encourage voluntary compliance. Many businesses had defaulted on filings due to financial issues, operational closure, or lack of awareness. By offering reduced additional fees and concessions, MCA aims to bring non-compliant companies back into the legal framework, improve corporate governance, and reduce the burden of heavy penalties on businesses

Operation Period of this scheme - 15 April 2026 to 15 July 2026

The Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme 2026 is effective from 15 April 2026 and will remain open until 15 July 2026. During these 90 days, eligible companies can file pending ROC forms by paying reduced additional fees under the scheme.

Applicable Forms Under CCFS 2026

✓ MGT-7 / MGT-7A – Annual Return

✓ AOC-4 – Financial Statements

✓ AOC-4 CFS – Consolidated Financial Statements

✓ AOC-4 XBRL – XBRL Filing

✓ ADT-1 – Auditor Appointment

✓ FC-3 / FC-4 – Foreign Company Filings

✓ Old ROC Forms like 20B, 21A, 23AC, 23ACA, Form 66

All eligible pending filings under these forms can be completed with reduced additional fees during CCFS 2026.

Understanding CCFS 2026 Through an Example

Under the Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme (CCFS) 2026, defaulting companies can save significantly on ROC late filing penalties. For example, if a company’s additional ROC filing fee for AOC-4 and MGT-7 is ₹50,000, it may get up to 90% waiver under CCFS 2026 and pay only ₹5,000. This scheme helps businesses complete pending ROC filings at a lower cost and achieve MCA compliance.

Benefits for Inactive Companies Under CCFS 2026

Under CCFS 2026, inactive companies can apply for dormant status at concessional fees. Eligible companies that file Form MSC-1 during the scheme period must pay only 50% of the normal filing fee. This benefit helps inactive businesses maintain their company status at a lower compliance cost while avoiding regular annual filing requirements.
