Overview
Form DPT-3 is a return of deposits and particulars of transactions not considered as deposits, filed annually with the Registrar of Companies by June 30 each year. It applies to all companies that have received money that falls under the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014.
This includes loans from directors, shareholders, or any other person that need to be reported — even if they don't technically qualify as 'deposits.' Many companies are unaware that even routine director loans require DPT-3 reporting.
Big4India helps you identify which transactions require DPT-3 reporting, classifies them correctly, and files the form with an auditor certificate before the deadline.
