The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has extended the deadline for filing financial statements and annual returns for the financial year 2024-25 to January 31, 2026. This extension, originally due December 31, 2025, was granted due to widespread technical issues, including glitches and timeouts, reported by users on the MCA portal. The decision accommodates representations from stakeholders and allows filings without additional fees for specific e-forms like MGT-7 and AOC-4.
