All about Form DPT-3

    Form DPT-3 is a return form that is required to be filed under the Companies Act, 2013 in India. It pertains to the reporting of outstanding loans or deposits received by a company from shareholders, directors, and other related parties.

According to the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014, as amended, every company (except government companies) is required to file Form DPT-3 with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) on an annual basis. The due date for filing Form DPT-3 is within 90 days from the closure of the financial year. Therefore, the specific due date may vary depending on the financial year-end of the company.

Form DPT-3 requires the company to provide details of the outstanding deposits and loans, including the names of the depositors or lenders, the amount of the deposit or loan, the purpose for which the deposit or loan was taken, and other relevant information. The form is intended to enhance transparency and ensure compliance with the regulations related to deposits accepted by companies.
