MCA21 V3 Portal Downtime: What It Means for ROC Filings
The MCA21 V3 Portal will be temporarily unavailable from 9th July to 13th July 2025, as per the Ministry of Corporate Affairs’ stakeholder announcement. This planned downtime is for system upgrades and backend maintenance.
If you’re a company, LLP, or professional dealing with ROC filings, this directly impacts your ability to submit key forms like DIR-3 KYC, AOC-4, MGT-7, LLP Form 11, and others during this window.
Let’s break down what this means for you and what action you must take.
Key Impact of MCA21 Portal Downtime
1. Filing Halt from 9th to 13th July
- No ROC form submissions will be possible during these 5 days.
