CCFS-2026 is a one-time window: pending ROC annual returns can be filed at 10% of the normal additional fees — but only until 31 August 2026. For a company two or three years behind, that is the difference between a manageable bill and a punishing one, and the clock is now measured in weeks.
| Item | Position |
|---|---|
| Window | Extended — closes 31 August 2026 |
| Concession | Additional fees at 10% of the normal amount for covered forms |
| Reality check | Financials and AGM records must exist to file — preparation time counts against the deadline |
| After 31 August | Full ₹100/day additional fees resume, uncapped |
The pendency report, the comparative fee working, filed forms with challans, and the forward compliance calendar.
CIN and MCA access, financials for pending years (or the records to build them), board/AGM minutes, DSCs of current signatories.
Signed financials and minutes need director cooperation on a compressed calendar — August is short. Scheme eligibility for specific forms follows the circular's terms as applied to your record.
Condonation matters outside the scheme, director-disqualification proceedings, and strike-off (a separate service) — coordinated where they intersect.
We are four years behind. Is it even worth it?
Usually more so — the older the default, the bigger the saving at 10%. The costing memo shows both numbers before you commit a rupee.
Can everything be done in the remaining weeks?
If records exist or can be built quickly, yes — the constraint is usually signed financials, not filing. The pendency audit on day one tells you honestly whether the window is achievable for your record.
Does the scheme erase our default history?
It regularises filings at concessional cost; it does not rewrite history or assure immunity from other proceedings. What it removes is the ongoing per-day bleed and the disqualification trajectory.
What if we miss 31 August?
Normal additional fees resume in full. Filing remains possible — just several times more expensive. That arithmetic is the entire case for acting now.
The applicable scope, documentation, professional responsibilities and timelines are agreed in an engagement letter before commencement.
