DPT-3 Return Preparation and Receipt Classification
Review company receipts and outstanding balances before deciding what belongs in DPT-3. TaxQue helps classify the relevant items, reconcile supporting records and prepare the return covered by the engagement. Share the financial year, company details and receipt or borrowing schedules.
An accounting credit is not automatically a deposit, and a deposit exemption does not always remove reporting requirements. Confirm the applicable category, reporting date, attachments and any required professional work. Audit, deposit-compliance advice and historical corrections are separate unless expressly included.
What is DPT-3 Filing?
Classify the receipts correctly: Review the source, terms and legal treatment of money received rather than classifying every credit as a deposit.
Reconcile the reporting balances: Match the relevant schedules with the books and supporting lender, member or other records.
Confirm attachments and reporting scope: Use the applicable form instructions and professional requirements for the chosen return category.

Forms, fees, due dates and eligibility can change and may differ by entity, state, activity or tax year. We confirm the relevant official instructions and the applicant’s facts before filing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about DPT-3 Filing
Form DPT-3 is the mandatory annual return under Rule 16 of the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014, filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) to report all outstanding loans, advances, credit facilities, inter-corporate borrowings, and exempted deposits as on 31st March. Every company (Private, Public, OPC, Small Company) must file Form DPT-3 every year (except government companies and banking entities).
Under Rule 16, Form DPT-3 must be filed on or before 30th June every year, declaring figures as on 31st March of the preceding financial year. Filing after 30th June triggers heavy compounding MCA late fees and severe statutory non-compliance penalties.
Yes! This is the #1 mistake companies make. Form DPT-3 has an explicit category for 'Particulars of transactions by a company not considered as deposit' (exempted deposits under Rule 2(1)(c)), which includes loans from directors, bank term loans, overdrafts, advances from customers, and inter-corporate loans. Even if you have ZERO public deposits, filing DPT-3 is 100% compulsory if you have any outstanding loan balances.
Under Rule 21 of the Deposit Rules, failing to file Form DPT-3 attracts a fine on the company and every defaulting officer of up to ₹5,000 plus a continuing daily fine of ₹500 per day. Under Section 76A, accepting unauthorized deposits without reporting can invite fines between ₹1 Crore and ₹10 Crores, and imprisonment for directors up to 7 years. TaxQue helps you file DPT-3 on time.
Your filing is prepared by a dedicated corporate tax accountant and certified by a practicing Chartered Accountant. We audit your trial balance, verify loan agreements, and prepare the mandatory CA Net Worth / Deposit Certificate.
