CCFS 2026 — The MCA's Compliance Window Your Company Cannot Afford to Miss

If your company has missed filing its annual return or financial statements with the ROC for one year — or even several years — there is a window open right now that you should be aware of. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has introduced the Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme, 2026, commonly referred to as CCFS 2026, giving defaulting companies a limited-time opportunity to clear their pending filings at a fraction of the usual penalty cost. This is not the first time MCA has done this. The CCFS 2020 was a similar scheme introduced during the COVID-19 period. But CCFS 2026 is the current one — and it is live right now, from 15th April 2026 to 15th July 2026. Once it closes, the standard additional fees and penalty provisions kick back in with full force.

Strike Off of a Company — How to Close an Inactive Company Legally

Not every company that is incorporated goes on to do business. Plans change, partners move on, or a venture simply does not take off. The problem is that an inactive company does not just quietly disappear — as long as it stays on the register, it keeps attracting annual compliance obligations, and missing those leads to penalties and even director disqualification. The clean, legal way to close down such a company is the Strike Off process under Section 248 of the Companies Act, 2013. This blog explains when you can use it, who cannot, the documents required, and the step-by-step procedure.

Trademark Registration in India — Process and Why It Protects Your Brand
