The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has introduced a major compliance overhaul in 2025–26, fundamentally transforming how companies file returns, maintain records and ensure regulatory compliance. These changes aim to increase transparency, digitisation and accountability across corporate India.
The MCA V3 portal represents a shift from PDF-based filings to fully web-based structured compliance reporting. All major forms including AOC-4 and MGT-7 are now filed through dynamic online forms.
The government has increased the threshold limits, allowing more companies to qualify for simplified compliance.
Director KYC requirements have been relaxed from annual filing to once every three years, reducing compliance burden.
Companies are now required to maintain accounting software with audit trail functionality. Non-compliance may lead to penalties and regulatory action.
The Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme (CCFS 2026) allows companies to clear pending filings with reduced penalties.
The MCA compliance overhaul represents a shift towards stricter, technology-driven governance. Companies must proactively update their compliance systems to avoid penalties and ensure smooth operations.
