Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme 2026 (CCFS)
Simplifying Compliance for Companies
The Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme (CCFS) 2026 is a government initiative designed to help companies clear past non-compliances under the Companies Act and related laws in a structured, affordable manner. It provides one-time relief from heavy penalties, possible prosecutions, and legal hassles by allowing delayed filings and rectification of defaults within a specified window.
At N D Savla & Associates, we guide businesses through the entire CCFS process — from identifying defaults to preparing correct filings and securing approvals under the Scheme.
What is CCFS 2026?
CCFS 2026 allows companies to regularize defaults related to filings and procedural non-compliances with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) without the fear of prosecution or punitive action. It encourages compliance culture while reducing the burden of historic penalties.
The Scheme typically applies for a limited period announced by the government, offering:
Waiver or reduction in penalties
Protection from prosecution
Relaxed procedural requirements
Who Can Benefit?
The Scheme is ideal for:
Private Limited Companies
Public Limited Companies
One Person Companies (OPCs)
Small and Medium Businesses
Dormant companies looking to clear defaults

CCFS may cover non-compliances such as:
Late annual filings (Form AOC-4, MGT-7)

Annual return defaults
Other procedural lapses under Companies Act
