About DPT-3
Overview
Form DPT-3 is the return of deposits and particulars of transactions not considered as deposits, filed under Rule 16 and Rule 16A of the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, 2014. Every company other than a government company, and excluding banks, NBFCs and housing finance companies, must file it if it has outstanding loans or receipts as on 31 March.
Common examples in private companies are loans from directors and their relatives, advances from customers and security deposits. DPT-3 is due by 30 June every year. Company Mitra reviews your balance sheet, classifies each item under the deposit rules, coordinates the auditor's certificate where required and files the form.
