The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has introduced CCFS-2026, a one-time window (15 April – 15 July 2026) to help companies clear pending filings at reduced cost.
This is a major relief for businesses facing heavy penalties due to past non-compliance.
Why This Matters
Delayed filings attract ₹100/day per form with no upper limit, often resulting in huge penalties over time.
CCFS-2026 allows you to clear years of backlog at a fraction of the cost.
