Overview
DPT 3 filing is an annual compliance requirement under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. It is applicable to companies that have received money in the form of loans or other amounts which are not treated as deposits. The form is filed with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to report outstanding receipts of money. Even if a company has not accepted public deposits, it may still be required to file DPT 3.
As per Rule 16 and Rule 16A of the Companies Acceptance of Deposits Rules, 2014, every company except Government companies must file DPT 3 annually. The form provides details of outstanding money or loan received by the company as on 31st March of the financial year. This includes secured loans, unsecured loans, advances, and other receipts which are not considered deposits.
DPT 3 filing is mandatory even for Private Limited Companies, OPCs and Public Limited Companies if they have any outstanding loan or non deposit amount. Failure to file DPT 3 within the prescribed time may attract heavy penalties on the company and its directors. Therefore, it is important to analyse the financial statements properly before filing the form to avoid incorrect reporting.
