NEW DELHI — In a significant relief for the corporate sector, the Union government has officially postponed the submission deadlines for corporate financial statements and yearly returns for the 2025-26 financial period to December 31, granting a total waiver on extra late fees.
This administrative adjustment by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs is designed to alleviate compliance pressures on businesses navigating administrative hurdles, ensuring that organizations have adequate time to finalize their audits without financial penalization.
