MCA directs ICAI, ICSI and ICMAI members to merge Multiple IDs in V-2 Portal with new user ID in V-3: Deactivate Old User ID in V-2 [Read Circular]

On July 12, 2023, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) released a circular addressed to the presidents of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI), and Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI). The circular directs the members of these institutes to merge their multiple IDs in the V-2 Portal with their new user ID in the V-3 Portal and also deactivate their old user IDs in the V-2 Portal.

This Ministry has become aware that numerous members from the three institutes, namely the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the Institute of Cost Accountants of India, and the Institute of Company Secretaries of India, have generated multiple user IDs when conducting transactions on the current MCA21 V2 portal.

Moreover, many members are facing difficulties in creating a user ID on the new MCA21 V3 portal due to the presence of an existing ID that they either lack knowledge about or cannot recall having created on the previous V2 portal.

The ministry has decided to allow members in such situations to contact their respective institutes with their credentials. The institutes will then provide recommendations for merging multiple existing user IDs with the ID created in the V3 portal or for deactivating old user IDs in the V2 portal. This process will enable members who wish to do so to create a new ID in the V3 portal.

The necessary changes in the user ID in V3 portal in such cases shall be done based on recommendations forwarded by the President or Vice-president of the institute to ddeqov@mca.gov.in.
