Know if the dates have been extended for ROC forms filing for FY 2020-21

The cutoff date of September 2021, the Indian Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) had extended various due dates for filing multiple e-forms with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) for the 2020-21 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Because of the COVID-19 Pandemic spreading its roots and making it unable for corporates to function in their business activities smoothly, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) released a Moratorium period till September 30, 2020, for the filing of e-forms with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) as per the list prescribed by the MCA. This was initiated for the cases where the forms were filed after the due date then an additional penalty would not be levied if filed by the 9th of September 2020. 

However, it is to be noted that the relaxation period given until September 30 2020, is not supposed to be an extended due date. 

In conclusion, The due dates weren't extended but they have provided relaxation by waiving off the additional fees till 30th September 2020, in case of failure to have filed the e-forms with ROC by the due date. However, it is still advised to file comply with the filing of all forms by the due date specified. So, it is basically an advantage for those corporates unable to smoothly run their business activities during the pandemic and failing to file e-forms under the Companies Act 2013 to have time till 30th September 2020.
