The dawn of a New Era: MCA’s V3 Portal phases out V2 for enhanced Corporate Compliance
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has ushered in a significant digital transformation, completing the phased migration of its services from the older V2 portal to the advanced MCA21 V3 portal. This move marks a pivotal moment for businesses, professionals, and stakeholders involved in corporate governance in India, promising a more streamlined, efficient, and user-friendly experience.
A Gradual but Definitive Shift
For quite some time, the MCA has been strategically transitioning its functionalities. While LLP-related filings were among the first to move to V3, the final and most comprehensive set of 38 company e-forms, including crucial annual filing forms like AOC-4 and MGT-7, and various audit/cost audit forms, went live on 30th May, 2025. This launch to be effective (from July 14, 2025 from 12.00 a.m) renders the V2 portal obsolete for company filings, signifying the completion of a major technological overhaul.
Why the Shift? The Promise of V3
The move to V3 is not merely an aesthetic upgrade; it’s a fundamental re-engineering of how corporate compliance is managed. Here’s what makes V3 a game-changer:
Online Form Submission: A major departure from V2, V3 allows for direct online submission of forms, eliminating the need to download, fill, and then upload. This significantly reduces manual effort and potential errors.
Enhanced User Experience: V3 boasts a more intuitive and responsive web design, making navigation and filing more user-friendly. Features like e-Adjudication, e-Consultation, and a Learning Management System are integrated for a holistic experience.
Real-time Processing and Tracking: Stakeholders can now track the status of their filings in real-time, providing greater transparency and allowing for timely corrective actions if needed.
Streamlined E-payments: The payment process has been further refined for greater ease and security. Notably, the “Pay Later” option on V2 has been discontinued, emphasizing online payment modes.
Improved Data Integrity and Compliance Management: V3 incorporates advanced field-level validations and aims to minimize errors during filing. The Compliance Management System (CMS) will assist MCA in identifying non-compliant entities and issuing e-notices, strengthening the regulatory framework.
Single User ID for Multiple Roles: Professionals (CA/CS/CMA) who are also directors can now manage their various roles through a single user ID, simplifying their interactions with the portal.
Increased Accessibility and Transparency: The portal aims to improve the accessibility of public documents and offers better resolution of public grievances.
Key Dates and Important Actions for Stakeholders
To ensure a smooth transition, the MCA had laid out a clear timeline and advised stakeholders on crucial actions:
V2 Filing Disabled: Company e-filings on the V2 portal were disabled from June 18, 2025. It was critical for all Service Request Numbers (SRNs) to be clear of “pending payment” or “re-submission” status before this date.
Offline Payments Discontinued: The “Pay Later” option in V2 was stopped from June 8, 2025, mandating online payments for all filings.
V3 Portal Downtime: A scheduled downtime for the V3 portal occurred from July 9 to July 13, 2025, to facilitate the final rollout of the new forms.
User ID and DSC Updates: Stakeholders were strongly advised to create a new user ID or upgrade/merge their existing V2 ID to a “Business User” category in V3 and associate their Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) without fail.
SRN Updates: SRNs requiring updates regarding investor or subsidiary details needed to be completed by June 17, 2025, to avoid being marked as “NTBR” (Not to Be Registered).
Navigating the new landscape: What to expect
While V3 promises significant improvements, like any large-scale system migration, initial teething troubles are not uncommon. Stakeholders should be prepared for:
Familiarization with New Interface: It will take some time for users to get accustomed to the new layout and functionalities of V3.
Technical Glitches: While the MCA has taken steps to ensure a smooth transition, occasional technical issues related to login, DSC association, or form submission might arise.
Proactive Engagement: Users are encouraged to utilize the FAQs and support resources provided by MCA and professional bodies to resolve any issues promptly.
The phasing out of the V2 portal and the full embrace of V3 signify the MCA’s commitment to digital governance and ease of doing business in India. This advanced platform is set to enhance transparency, streamline compliance processes, and contribute to a more robust corporate ecosystem. Embracing this new era with readiness and adaptability will be key for all stakeholders.
In a significant move, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has extended the deadline for mandatory dematerialization of securities for certain private companies until June 30, 2025. This extension, announced through a notification dated February 12, 2025, grants more time for compliance under the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Amendment Rules, 2025, which modifies the existing Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has officially extended the deadline for the mandatory dematerialization of securities for private companies.
According to the latest notification issued on February 12, 2025, the new compliance deadline has been pushed to June 30, 2025.
This amendment revises the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014, specifically Rule 9B, which mandates dematerialization for specific categories of private companies.
The official Notification is attached here for reference:
Key Highlights of the MCA Notification
Extension until June 30, 2025
The deadline for compliance with Rule 9B (2) has been extended from March 31, 2023, to June 30, 2025.
This provides private companies (other than small and producer companies) with more time to complete the dematerialisation of securities and obtain ISIN (International Securities Identification Number).
Applicability of the Rule
All private companies, excluding small companies and producer companies, are required to comply.
Companies that intend to issue new shares, transfer shares, or make any alterations in their capital structure must do so only in dematerialised form.
The objective of the Amendment
To ease the transition for private companies that have not yet complied.
To ensure greater market transparency and alignment with regulatory frameworks for public companies.
To facilitate smooth investor participation and digital securities transactions.
What is the Dematerialization of Shares?
Dematerialization is the process of converting physical share certificates and other securities into an electronic format, eliminating the need for paper-based documents. Once dematerialized, these securities are held in a demat account, which functions like a digital repository for financial instruments.
A depository is an entity that holds securities in an electronic form and facilitates seamless transactions. It ensures security, transparency, and ease of trading. In India, depositories are governed under the Depositories Act of 1996 and regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
The two SEBI-registered depositories in India are:
NSDL (National Securities Depository Ltd.) – Primarily linked with the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
CDSL (Central Depository Services (India) Ltd.) – Associated with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
Rule 9B: Mandatory Dematerialization of Securities for Private Companies
In October 2023, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) introduced Rule 9B under the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014. This regulation made it mandatory for certain private companies to dematerialize their securities, aligning them with corporate governance standards applicable to public companies.
Applicability of Dematerialization of Shares
The dematerialization of shares applies to various entities within the securities market, ensuring transparency, security, and ease of transactions.
Public Companies
All public companies in India are mandated to hold and transact their securities in dematerialized form.
Private Limited Companies
All private limited companies, except those categorized as small companies, must comply with dematerialization regulations.
Holding and Subsidiary Companies
Any private limited company that is a holding company or a subsidiary of another corporate entity must dematerialise its shares.
This applies even if the company qualifies as a small company under financial thresholds.
Small Companies – Exception to Dematerialization
A small company is defined as a private limited company that meets the following financial criteria:
Paid-up capital: INR4 crore (INR 40,000,000) or less
Turnover: INR40 crores (INR 400,000,000) or less in the preceding financial year
Small companies are exempt from mandatory dematerialisation unless they are:
A holding company of another entity
A subsidiary company of another corporate body
In these cases, they must comply with dematerialisation requirements, irrespective of their financial position.
Last date for Dematerialization of Physical Shares
Considering the challenges faced by companies in executing the dematerialisation process, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has extended the compliance deadline. The new last date for mandatory dematerialisation of shares is June 30, 2025, revised from the earlier deadline of September 30, 2024.
Implications of the Deadline Extension for Private Companies
For Non-Compliant Private Companies: Companies that have not obtained their ISIN or completed dematerialisation now have extra time to comply. They must coordinate with depositories (NSDL/CDSL), registrar & transfer agents (RTAs), and professionals to initiate the dematerialisation process.
For Companies already in Compliance: Those who have already obtained their ISIN and dematerialised securities will not be affected. However, they should continue ensuring that any new share issuance or transfer occurs only in dematerialised form.
How to Convert Physical Shares into Demat?
Converting physical share certificates into electronic form is a simple and efficient process. Below is a step-by-step guide to help complete the dematerialization process:
Step 1: Open a Demat Account
To begin, you need to open a Demat account with a Depository Participant (DP), such as a bank, stockbroker, or financial institution. This account will hold your shares in electronic form.
You must fill out an account opening form and provide essential details, including:
Bank account details (Account number, IFSC code, Bank name, and Branch address)
Identity and address proof
PAN card
Once your Demat account is successfully set up, you can initiate the dematerialization process.
Step 2: Submit a Demat Request Form (DRF)
Obtain a Demat Request Form (DRF) from your DP, complete it accurately, and sign it. Ensure that the names and signatures on the form match those on the share certificates and the company’s records.
Step 3: Verification and Processing
After submission, the DP will verify your details and issue a Dematerialization Request Number (DRN) to track the status of your request.
Step 4: Forwarding to Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA)
Your DP will forward the dematerialization request along with your physical share certificates to the respective Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA) of the issuing company.
Step 5: Conversion to Electronic Form
Once the RTA verifies and approves the request, your physical share certificates will be cancelled and converted into electronic form to prevent misuse.
Step 6: Credit to Your Demat Account
The dematerialized shares are then credited to your Demat account, allowing you to sell, transfer, or pledge them as needed.
Penalties for Non-Compliance with Dematerialization Requirements
Failure to comply with Rule 9B of the Companies Act, 2013, can result in serious consequences for private companies, including:
Restrictions on Securities Transactions: Companies failing to comply will be barred from issuing or allotting any securities, including those related to bonus issues and buybacks.
Limitations for Shareholders: Shareholders holding physical shares will be restricted from selling or transferring their securities. They may also lose eligibility for rights issues and dividend benefits.
Monetary Penalties for Companies
Penalties for Company Officers: Officers in default may face penalties of up to INR 50,000 for non-compliance.
Initial penalty: INR 10,000
Continuing penalty: INR 1,000 per day until compliance is met, up to a maximum of INR 200,000.
Conclusion
The extension of the dematerialisation deadline to June 30, 2025, provides much-needed relief for private companies, allowing them additional time to comply with Rule 9B of the Companies Act, 2013. Companies should take advantage of this extension to complete the demat process, obtain their ISIN, and ensure compliance to avoid penalties and restrictions on share transactions.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, has made it mandatory for private limited companies also to issue their securities in dematerialized form starting from 30 September 2024 and to facilitate conversion of all their existing securities in dematerialized form
Background:
Till now, only public limited companies were required to issue these securities in dematerialized form and private limited companies were exempted and hence could issue their securities in the form of a physical document.
Previously, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) mandated that public companies must maintain and transact their shares in Demat form starting from October 2nd, 2018
Effective from October 27, 2023, the MCA has introduced significant changes in the regulations governing the dematerialization of securities for private limited companies.
The Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Second Amendment Rules, 2023 now apply to private limited companies, excluding small companies.
These rules come into effect on September 30th, 2024.
As per the new amendment every private company which has not been classified as small company shall mandatorily convert their existing physical securities into demat form within 18 months of end of F.Y. 2023. (i.e. 30/09/2024)
Small company, as per Section 2(85) of the Companies Act,2013, means a company, other than a public company,
having a paid-up share capital of which does not exceed 4 crore rupees or such higher amount as may be prescribed; and
Turnover of which as per profit and loss account for the immediately preceding financial year does not exceed 40 crore rupees or such higher amount as may be prescribed: Exceptions:
A holding company or a subsidiary company;
A company registered under section 8; or
A company or body corporate governed by any special Act.
Consequences of non-dematerialization of physical security into demat on or before 30/09/2024:
After the due date, the company shall not be able to undertake a) Issue any securities b) buyback of securities c) issue bonus shares d) Offer for right issue of securities
After the due date, Security holders shall not be able to transfer the securities of the company or subscribe further issue of securities.
Penalty would be levied on the Company under the provisions of section 450 of the Companies act, 2013 as no specific penalty has been provided for the said noncompliance under the act.
* The penalty to be levied under Section-450 of the Companies Act, 2013 is as mentioned hereunder: “Fine which may extend to Rs. 10,000 and in case of continuous contravention, a further fine of which may extend to Rs. 1,000 per day after the first during which the contravention continues.”
Summary: Failure to convert physical securities into demat form by the specified deadline carries significant repercussions for private companies. They risk being unable to issue securities, undertake buybacks, issue bonus shares, or offer right issues. Moreover, security holders may face restrictions on transferring securities or subscribing to further issues. Non-compliance also attracts penalties under Section 450 of the Companies Act, 2013, emphasizing the importance of adhering to the new mandate.
This scheme aims to grant a condonation of delay to LLPs for filing of Form-3, Form-4, and Form-11 from September 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified the Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Amnesty Scheme. The ministry vide circular number No. 8/2023 issued on 23rd August 2023 condoning the delay in filing of Form-3, Form-4 and Form-11 under Section 67 of Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) Act, 2008 read with Section 460 of Companies Act, 2013.
These forms shall be available for filing from 01.09.2023 onwards till 30.11.2023 (both dates inclusive). Also, the LLPs availing the scheme shall not be liable for any action for delayed filing of the Form-3, Form-4 and Form-11.
Based on the representations received by the government that certain LLPs are finding difficulties in filing Form- 3 (LLP Agreement and changes therein), Form- 4 (Notice of appointment, cessation, change in name/ address/designation of a designated partner or partner and consent to become a partner/ designated partner) and Form- 11 (Annual Return of LLP) for various reasons including due to mismatch in the master data in electronic registry of the Ministry.
Due to this, the records/data in the electronic registry are also not being updated. Thus, to address these issues, the government has decided to grant one-time relaxation in additional fees to those LLPs who could not file the Form 3, 4 and 11 within the due date and provide an opportunity to update their filings and details in master data for future compliances.
The following are highlights of Amnesty Scheme:
The Form-3 and Form-4 would be processed under Straight Through Process (STP) mode for all purposes except for change in business activities.
The stakeholders are advised to file these forms in sequential manner i.e., the filing for old events date may be filed first and so on so as to update the master data in proper manner.
At the time of filing these forms, the pre-filled data as per existing master data of the LLP shall be provided in each of above mentioned forms but the same shall have the facility to edit. The onus of filing correct data would be on the stakeholders.
In case of misrepresentation, the Designated Partner and the professional certifying the form may be liable for adverse action as per provisions of the law.
The filing of Form-3 and Form-4 without additional fee shall be applicable for the event dates 01.01.2021 and onwards.
For events dated prior to 01.01.2021, these forms can be filed with 02 times and 04 times of normal filing fees as additional fee for small LLPs and Other than small LLPs respectively.
The filing of Form-II without additional fee shall be applicable for the financial year 2021-22 onwards.
Form-II for previous years (prior to financial year 2021-22) can be filed with 02 times and 04 times of normal filing fee as additional fee for small LLPs and Other than small LLPs respectively.
These forms shall be available for filing from 01.09.2023 onwards till 30.11.2023 (both dates inclusive). The LLPs availing the scheme shall not be liable for any action for delayed filing of the Form-3, Form-4 and Form-11.
A company cannot file a strike-off application unless it has filed overdue financial statements and overdue annual returns.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has notified an amendment to the Companies (Removal of Names of Companies from the Register of Companies) Rules, 2016.
The amendment provides more clarity on the filing requirements of overdue financials before applying for strike-off.
As per the amended norms, a company cannot file a strike-off application unless it has filed overdue financial statements under section 137 and overdue annual returns under section 92, up to the end of the financial year in which the company ceased to carry out its business operations.
Previously, the MCA had removed the requirement for up-to-date financial results and annual returns, vide the amendment introducing the Centre for Processing Accelerated Corporate Exit.
However, this requirement has now been reintroduced. The present amendment shall be effective from 10.05.2023.
Annual Filing (i.e. AOC-4 and MGT-7) is required to be filed before applying for Strike off.
As per the amendment made in rule 4 in May 2019 and amendment made on May 2023 “no application in Form No. STK-2 shall be filed by a company unless it has filed overdue returns in Form No. AOC-4 (Financial Statement) or AOC-4 XBRL, as the case may be, and Form No. MGT-7 (Annual Return), up to the end of the financial year in which the company ceased to carry its business operations”
Therefore, after amendment in Rule 4 w.e.f. 08th May, 2019 read with notification dated 10th May 2023, annual filing of AOC-4 and MGT-7 is mandatory up to the end of the financial year in which the company ceased to carry its business operations. In other words, Company is required to file AOC-4 and MGT-7 up to financial year till company carries its business and operations.

Stakeholders are advised by MCA to plan accordingly.
The MCA vide General Circular No. 09/2022 dated September 28, 2022 extends the timeline for filing e-form DIR-3-KYC and web-form DIR-3-KYC-WEB without fee upto October 15, 2022.
Director’s KYC Filing is an annual compliance and applies to every person who was allotted a DIN (Director Identification Number) on or before 31st March 2022. The purpose of filing the DIR-3 KYC form to the ROC is to keep the records of the ROC updated with the correct address, mobile and email address of the directors/designated partners.
It is a mandatory filing, and if filed within the due date of 30th September 2022, there is no government fee. The DIN Numbers for which the KYC is not filed within its due date get deactivated, and the same can be activated after the filing of DIR-3 KYC with late filing fees of Rs. 5000 for each defaulting director or the designated partner.
Representation has been received in the Ministry requesting for an extension of time beyond September 30, 2022 for filing e-form DIR-3-KYC and web form DIR-3-KYC-WEB without payment of fee.
The matter has been examined in the Ministry and it has been decided to allow filing of e-form DIR-3-KYC and web-form DIR-3-KYC-WEB without filing fee upto October 15, 2022.
