Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can a company file multiple pending MCA forms together under CCFS-2026?
Yes. A company may file multiple eligible MCA forms under CCFS-2026, provided each form falls within the scope of the scheme and the applicable conditions are satisfied. Each form should be reviewed separately to ensure that the required documents, approvals and filing requirements are properly completed.
2. Does CCFS-2026 waive all additional fees payable on delayed MCA filings?
No. The relief available under CCFS-2026 depends on the specific form and compliance default covered under the scheme. Companies should verify the applicable fee relief and filing requirements for each form before submitting it under CCFS-2026.
3. Can MCA forms filed under CCFS-2026 be revised after submission?
It depends on the specific MCA form and the applicable provisions governing revision. Not every form permits revision after submission or approval. Companies should verify the relevant MCA rules before attempting any correction or resubmission.
4. Can an Active Non-Compliant company file forms under CCFS-2026?
The company’s eligibility depends on the nature of the pending compliance, applicable forms and conditions prescribed under CCFS-2026. The status displayed on the MCA portal alone does not determine eligibility. The company’s compliance history should be reviewed before filing under the scheme.
5. Does filing under CCFS-2026 remove all previous compliance defaults of a company?
No. CCFS-2026 provides relief only for eligible defaults covered under the scheme. Companies must continue complying with other applicable requirements under the Companies Act, 2013 and complete ongoing statutory filings that are not covered under CCFS-2026.
6. Can a company file CCFS-2026 forms if the director’s DIN status is inactive?
Not always. Director-related compliance issues, including inactive DIN status or pending KYC requirements, may affect the ability to certify and submit MCA forms. Companies should verify the status of authorised directors before proceeding with CCFS-2026 filings.
7. Can a company file CCFS-2026 forms if the authorised signatory details are not updated on the MCA portal?
The company should first ensure that authorised signatory details available on the MCA portal are accurate and updated. Incorrect authorised-person information may create issues during form certification, signing or submission under CCFS-2026.
8. What happens if an MCA form filed under CCFS-2026 is rejected or marked for resubmission?
The company should review the reason for rejection or resubmission and complete the required corrections within the permitted timeline. The impact on CCFS-2026 benefits depends on the form status, applicable rules and whether the filing can be successfully completed within the scheme period.
9. Can Ebizfiling help analyse whether a company should use CCFS-2026 or another compliance option?
Yes. Ebizfiling can assist companies in reviewing pending MCA compliances, identifying available options and understanding whether CCFS-2026 or another compliance route may be appropriate based on the company’s compliance position.
10. Can Ebizfiling assist with preparing documents and filing forms under CCFS-2026?
Yes. Ebizfiling can assist companies with document review, MCA form preparation and filing support under CCFS-2026. Professional assistance can help identify missing information, review filing requirements and reduce errors while completing scheme-related compliances.
