Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) is set to go live with the MCA21 V3 Company Module – Lot-3 on July 14, 2025. This update includes 38 forms: 13 annual filing forms, 6 audit/cost audit forms, 7 other forms, and 12 under the Companies Act, 1956. Key enhancements include removal of the mandatory Director’s Report attachment, now replaced by a web form linked to AOC-4 NBFC. CSR disclosures have been separated into CSR-2 or Extracts of the Board’s Report. Several forms now require linked filings, especially where consolidated financial statements or auditor reports are involved. The new rules allow filings by companies under liquidation or CIRP, enabling IRP/RP/Liquidator signatures. Additional enhancements include auto-population of previous year data, improved form layout, introduction of pre-filled excel-based offline submission, and checks to ensure compliance with the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014. AOC-1 CFS and AOC-2 have been updated or introduced with linked filing requirements and compliance checks. The user experience is also addressed, allowing migration of SRNs from MCA V2 to V3 with scenarios covering legacy user ID transitions. This update aims to simplify compliance, improve data accuracy, and enable efficient filing through streamlined form structures and linked submission logic.

New ADT-1 Form in MCA V3 Portal – Practical Question The recently updated Form ADT-1 on MCA V3 Portal now requires Membership Number, Name, PAN and other details of Auditor signing the balance sheet of the company along with the details of Firm. This brings up an interesting point that when an auditor (firm) is appointed for 5 years under Section 139(1) of the Companies Act, 2013, does this mean the same partner must sign the financial statements every year? What happens if: The partner resigns, Is rotated internally within the firm, or Is unable to sign for any reason? Will the original ADT-1 remain valid, or will a fresh ADT-1 be required each time the signing partner changes?
