Company Law Settlement Scheme / Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme 2026 (CCFS-2026)
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has announced the
Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme 2026 (CCFS-2026), commonly known as the
Company Law Settlement Scheme 2026.
This limited-period amnesty-style initiative helps companies clear compliance defaults and update
their records on the MCA portal with significantly reduced penalties.
What is CCFS-2026?
CCFS-2026 is a one-time compliance relief window that allows companies to file overdue
ROC forms with large fee reductions. The scheme also provides options for:
- Reduced additional filing fees
- Applying for Dormant Company Status
- Voluntary strike-off at concessional rates
- Immunity from prosecution for delays
15 April 2026 to 15 July 2026
After this date, regular penalties will apply again.
Key Features & Benefits

Under the scheme, companies pay only 10% of the additional fees that would normally apply—
a massive financial relief for older compliance defaults.

Inactive companies can apply for dormancy under Section 455 by paying
50% of the standard fees.
✔ 3. Strike-off at Only 25% of Normal Fees
Companies seeking closure can apply for voluntary strike-off using Form STK-2
at just 25% of the normal fee.
