Who Needs to File MCA Form DPT-3 Filing?  

Important clarification on NIL filing

A company with no deposits and no reportable outstanding receipts as of 31 March is generally not required to file a NIL DPT-3 merely to confirm that no amount is outstanding.

The company’s ledger, balance sheet, and outstanding loan accounts should be reviewed before deciding whether the form is applicable.

 

File Form DPT-3 Before the Relaxation Period Ends

Companies with deposits, loans, or other reportable amounts outstanding as of 31 March 2026 should complete their MCA Form DPT-3 filing at the earliest.

 

For FY 2025-26, Form DPT-3 can be filed up to 31 July 2026 without additional fees under MCA’s one-time relaxation.

FAQs

FAQs on MCA Form DPT-3 Filing  

Get answers to all your queries

  • Does a newly incorporated company need to file Form DPT-3?

    A newly incorporated company must check whether it had any reportable deposits, loans or other outstanding receipts as on 31 March. Its incorporation date alone does not decide the applicability.

  • Is DPT-3 required when a loan was received and fully repaid during the same financial year?

    Generally, the annual return focuses on reportable amounts outstanding as on 31 March. A loan fully repaid before that date may not form part of the year-end outstanding balance. However, the transaction and repayment records should be verified before concluding.

  • Should interest accrued but not paid be included in Form DPT-3?

    Accrued interest may need to be considered depending on the loan terms, accounting treatment and applicable reporting fields. It should be reconciled with the company’s books before filing.

  • Does share application money need to be disclosed in DPT-3?

    Share application money may require reporting when shares are not allotted or the money is not refunded within the period prescribed under the deposit rules. The date of receipt and allotment status must be checked.

  • Are customer advances reportable in Form DPT-3?

    Customer advances may be excluded from deposits when they satisfy the prescribed conditions. If an advance remains outstanding beyond the permitted period or is not used for its stated purpose, its treatment should be reviewed carefully.

  • Does a company with no business activity need to file DPT-3?

    Having no turnover or business activity does not automatically remove the filing requirement. A company may still have an outstanding director’s loan, security deposit, advance or another reportable receipt.

  • Is DPT-3 required for an unsecured loan from a shareholder?

    It depends on the shareholder’s relationship with the company and whether the receipt qualifies for an exclusion under the deposit rules. A shareholder loan is not automatically exempt from deposit-related requirements.

  • How are foreign currency loans reported in DPT-3?

    Foreign currency amounts should be reported according to the form instructions and the accounting records of the company. The exchange rate and INR value used should be supported by proper working papers.

  • Can provisional financial figures be used for DPT-3 filing?

    The figures must be accurate and supported by the company’s books as on 31 March. Where audited financial statements are not ready, properly reconciled provisional figures may be considered after professional verification.

  • Does a dormant company have to file Form DPT-3?

    Dormant status does not automatically provide an exemption. A dormant company must check whether any reportable amount was outstanding as on 31 March.

  • Should a company planning to apply for strike-off file pending DPT-3 returns?

    A company should review and complete all applicable ROC filings before applying for strike-off. Pending DPT-3 compliance may lead to queries, delays or inconsistencies in the company’s closure records.

  • Does conversion of a loan into equity affect DPT-3 reporting?

    Yes. The date and legal completion of the conversion are important. If the amount had been validly converted into share capital before 31 March, its year-end treatment may differ from a loan that remained outstanding.

  • Are employee security deposits covered by DPT-3?

    Amounts received from employees may be excluded from deposits when they satisfy the prescribed conditions. The purpose, amount and employment arrangement should be documented and reviewed.

  • What if the DPT-3 figures do not match the balance sheet?

    The difference should be reconciled before filing. It may arise because DPT-3 classification is based on the deposit rules, while the balance sheet presents amounts according to accounting classifications.

  • Can one DPT-3 cover loans received from multiple parties?

    Yes. A company files one annual Form DPT-3 for the relevant reporting period. The applicable amounts from different parties are classified and consolidated according to the form requirements.

  • Is a separate DPT-3 required for every branch of a company?

    No. Form DPT-3 is filed at the company level using its CIN. Applicable balances from all branches and business locations should be considered while preparing the return.

  • What happens if an incorrect purpose of filing is selected?

    Selecting the wrong purpose can result in inaccurate disclosure or MCA queries. The company should obtain professional guidance because an approved DPT-3 does not ordinarily have a simple online revision facility.

  • Can DPT-3 be filed when the company’s DSC has expired?

    No. A valid and registered digital signature certificate is required for submission. An expired DSC must be renewed and associated with the MCA account before filing.

  • Should secured loans be matched with the company’s charge filings?

    Yes. Details of secured borrowings should be checked against applicable charge filings, loan documents, and the company’s financial statements to avoid inconsistent MCA records.

  • How should old loans with incomplete supporting records be handled?

    The company should reconstruct the lender details, opening balance, receipts, repayments, and closing balance from available ledgers, bank statements, and agreements. Unsupported estimates should not be used in the form.
