    Hello,

    This Form MSME 1 is still not released. (not appearing on MCA portal. Due date for same is 22nd February. Kindly update form on Portal.

  7. Padmanabhan Venkata Subramanian says:

    Hi,
    MCA may make the form available on its portal any day now and then may extend the due date of filing the initial return beyond 22.02.2019. If this does not happen, the Form MSME-1 may be filled in manually and e-filed with the RoC as an attachment to Form GNL-2 to avoid any penal action arising due to delayed filing or non-filing..
