Overview

Ministry of Company Affairs (MCA), Government of India, has initiated the MCA21 project, which will enable an easy and secure access to MCA services in a manner that best suits the corporate entities and professionals besides the public. The project has been named MCA21 as it aims at repositioning MCA as an organisation capable of fulfilling the aspirations of its stakeholders in the 21st century. Rather than compelling the business community to physically travel to MCA offices, MCA services will be made available at the place of their choice, be it their homes or offices.

MCA21 - Unique Approach

- A new set of electronic forms or e-Forms have been evolved to suit e-filing. The paper-based forms have been revamped leading to a reduction in the total number of forms besides elimination of repetitive data in each of the e-forms.
- Electronic Payment mechanisms are envisaged to provide ethos to e-filing, while the traditional payment facility at the Bank counter will also continue to be available.
- Five Banks, including two private banks, with 200 branches nationwide have been authorized to accept all MCA payments.
- Digital Signatures Certificates are mandatory to ensure authenticity and maximum security of documents that are filed electronically.
- Facilitation Centers (Physical Front Offices or PFO) have been established in all major cities including the ROC office locations and 8 Special Economic Zones (SEZs) to support those needing assistance in e-filing and there is no extra charge.

MCA21 - Convenience Drives Innovation

MCA will move from the traditional paper-based operation to a near paperless environment. Consequently, the conventional Forms prescribed for various transactions are to be adapted for use through electronic medium. The processes and forms of MCA have been simplified and standardized for electronic filing (e-filing) in this exercise. MCA services are enabled securely through the Internet and made accessible from the convenience of your office or home. The MCA21 portal will facilitate e-filing, inspection of company documents and requisition of certified copies. However, to those stakeholders who need assistance in e filing, location of Facilitation Centres, also known as Physical Front Offices (PFOs) at 53 places throughout the country is also envisaged. The replacement of paper with secure electronic equivalents would naturally eliminate the shortcomings associated with physical paper. This will not only ensure speed and certainty in the delivery of MCA services but also lead to introduction of more value based services to stakeholders.
