The Ministry of Corporate Affairs(MCA) has notified Updates on MCA on MCA21 Version-3.

MCA21 version-3.0 is a technology-driven forward-looking project, envisioned to strengthen enforcement, promote Ease of Doing Business and enhance user experience. MCA21 version-3.0 rollout has been planned in phases to ensure minimum disruption in regulatory filings.

The following nine company forms are slated to go active on September 1, 2022: CHG-1, CHG-4, CHG-6, CHG-8, CHG-9, DIR-3 KYC, DIR-3 KYC WEB, DPT-3, and DPT-4 (00:00 hrs). It is planned to complete the deployment of all remaining company forms as well as additional modules like the e-Adjudication and Compliance Management System throughout this calendar year.

LLP filings on the MCA21 V-3 portal won’t be accessible from August 27 at 00:00AM to August 28 due to the impending release of 09 Company forms in version 3. (23:59hrs). The MCA21 V-2 Portal will still be open for corporate filings, nevertheless.
