Sub: Peak Filing Preparation 2014- MCA 21 

As you are aware it is time of peak filing of Balance Sheet & Annual Return under the Companies Act. 

To avoid last minute rush and system congestion on the MCA 21 portal on account of filings under the Company Law Settlement Scheme, 2014 ending on 15.10.2014 and annual filings during October / November 2014, we are quite sure that you might have already taken steps in advising corporates to file balance sheet and annual return of the companies early without postponing it to the last days. 

We would also like to inform you that during this period the Corporate Seva Kendra / help desks (ph. no. 0124-4832500) would give priority to e-filing/ answering queries of companies for filing balance sheet and annual return. 

In this regard, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India, has issued a Notice on their website and the link for the same is as below:

Members concerned are earnestly requested to kindly plan their filing accordingly.
