Overview

What is DPT-3 Filing?

Form DPT-3 is an annual return filed by companies with the Registrar of Companies to report deposits, and money or loans received that are not treated as deposits, such as loans from directors or certain other exempted amounts. It is based on outstanding balances as on 31 March and applies to most companies, with a few notified exemptions.

Many private companies do not realise that director loans and similar receipts must be reported even though they are not deposits. We review your balance sheet, classify each amount correctly and file DPT-3 with the required attachments. Due dates vary; we track them for you.

Who is this for?

  • Private limited companies with loans from directors or shareholders
  • Companies that have accepted deposits under the Companies Act
  • Startups that have received advances or unsecured loans
  • Companies catching up on missed DPT-3 filings
