What is CCFS-2026?
The Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme, 2026 (CCFS-2026) is an amnesty scheme launched by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs under the Companies Act, 2013.
It provides a structured one-time window — from 15 April 2026 to 15 July 2026 — for companies that have defaulted on statutory filing obligations to regularise their records at drastically reduced costs.
The scheme waives 90% of accumulated additional late fees, making it financially viable for longstanding defaulters to finally clear their backlog. After 15 July, the MCA has directed all RoCs to initiate strict penal action against every remaining defaulter.
Choose Your Route Under CCFS-2026
Three distinct options — regularise and continue, go dormant, or close cleanly. Each with significant cost savings.
Regularise Defaults
File all overdue Annual Returns and Financial Statements. Most common use case — suitable for active companies that missed filing deadlines over multiple years.
Dormant Company Status
Apply for Dormant Company status via e-Form MSC-1 if your company has no active business. Ideal for holding companies, SPVs and companies with future plans but no current operations.
Company Closure (Strike Off)
Apply to strike off the company via e-Form STK-2. Cleanly dissolve a company that has ceased business with no assets or liabilities. Removes ongoing compliance burden permanently.
Who is NOT Eligible for CCFS-2026?
The scheme is available to active non-compliant companies. The following specific categories are excluded by the MCA notification.

CCFS-2026 — Your Questions Answered
How much will I actually save under CCFS-2026?
The scheme waives 90% of accumulated additional late fees. Example: if your company has 3 years of overdue MGT-7 and AOC-4 with ₹8 lakh in accumulated late fees, you pay only ₹80,000 instead of ₹8,00,000. You still pay normal government filing fees (usually ₹200–600 per form based on share capital), but the penalty component is reduced to 10%.
What if my company has been non-compliant for many years?
CCFS-2026 covers all overdue annual returns and financial statements regardless of how many years are pending. Whether your company missed filings for 2 years or 10 years, you pay only 10% of the total accumulated additional fees. The older the default, the larger your savings.
Can I file under CCFS-2026 for multiple financial years at once?
Yes — and this is precisely the benefit. You file all overdue forms for all pending financial years during the scheme window and pay only 10% of total accumulated late fees. Our team identifies every overdue form, prepares them all, and files together under CCFS-2026.
What documents are needed to avail CCFS-2026?
Typically: audited financial statements for each overdue year, board-approved annual reports, DSC of at least 2 directors, shareholding pattern, signed auditor reports, and previous ITR copies. Lawssolute will give you a specific checklist based on your company type and pending years.
Will my company have any issues after filing under CCFS-2026?
No. Once all overdue forms are filed and payment is made, your company records are fully regularised. There is no adverse remark on the MCA profile for having availed the amnesty. You can continue business normally and access all MCA services without restrictions.
What happens if I miss the 15 July 2026 deadline?
After 15 July 2026, RoCs will initiate: (a) prosecution proceedings against directors, (b) compounding orders with full late fees without any waiver, (c) director disqualification under Section 164(2) for non-filing for 3+ years, and (d) potential company strike-off under Section 248. The cost and consequences multiply significantly.
Can a struck-off company be revived later?
A company voluntarily struck off may be restored by the NCLT under Section 252 within 20 years, but only on sufficient cause. Restoration is expensive and not guaranteed. If there is any future possibility of reviving the business, the Dormant Company route (MSC-1) is preferable as it preserves existence with minimal compliance.
