This batch contains six audit/cost audit forms and thirteen yearly filing forms, which are essential for businesses to fulfill their legal requirements under the Companies Act of 2013. The MCA V3 portal is currently the only place to access all of these forms. The V3 site is intended to improve filing tracking, expedite processing, and improve user experience. Because it is web-based, users may complete forms online with features like real-time validations and pre-filled data.

Offline payments in V2 utilizing the 'Pay Later' option were discontinued on June 8, 2025, and company e-filings on the V2 portal were disabled starting on June 18, 2025. In order to support the final rollout, the V3 portal was expected to be unavailable from July 9, 2025, until July 13, 2025. Since there were no fee waivers or extensions offered at this time, stakeholders were urged to schedule their filings appropriately.

The revised regulations include a few new disclosure requirements in the forms, some of which are only reporting requirements and others that call for more action from businesses. Some forms, for instance, now ask for information about gender-specific shareholdings and associated parties' PANs or passport numbers.

To avoid penalties, businesses, auditors, and compliance specialists must adapt to the new forms and the V3 portal, upgrade internal systems, and schedule timely submissions. The creation, upgrading, or merging of user accounts from V2 with Digital Signature Certificates (DSCs) is also required for V3.
