The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), on August 31, 2026, issued a General Circular further extending the validity of the Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme, 2026 (CCFS-2026) up to September 15, 2026. The scheme was originally introduced to provide companies an opportunity to complete their pending statutory filings and was initially operational until July 15, 2026.
The validity of CCFS-2026 had previously been extended up to August 31, 2026 through General Circular No. 03/2026 dated July 8, 2026. In view of representations received from stakeholders, MCA has now further extended the scheme until September 15, 2026.
All other terms and conditions of CCFS-2026 remain unchanged. Accordingly, companies with pending statutory filings may avail the extended validity of the scheme, subject to the existing conditions applicable to CCFS-2026. The circular has been issued with the approval of the competent authority.
