DPT-3 Filing: Compliance for Deposits and Loans under the Companies Act
The DPT-3 form is a critical statutory compliance requirement mandated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) under the Companies Act, 2013. It serves as a declaration of outstanding deposits and unsecured loans received by a company that are not considered deposits under the Act. Filing DPT-3 accurately and on time is essential to ensure transparency and avoid penalties.
What is DPT-3 Filing?
DPT-3 is an annual return of outstanding receipt of money by way of deposit or loan from shareholders and others, which is not considered as deposits as per the Companies Act. Companies are required to file this form to declare all such deposits and loans that have not been repaid or renewed as of the specified date.
Who is Required to File DPT-3?
All companies (except Government companies) which have accepted deposits from members, shareholders, or the public.
Companies that have taken unsecured loans which do not qualify as deposits.
Companies must file DPT-3 even if there are no outstanding deposits or loans; in such cases, a "Nil" return is required.
Due Date for DPT-3 Filing
The DPT-3 form must be filed annually on or before 30th June for the financial year ending 31st March. For example, the DPT-3 for the financial year 2023-24 must be filed by 30th June 2024.
