Company Compliance · Panaji, Goa
Accurate handling of two key compliances in Goa — the annual DPT-3 return of deposits and loans (due 30 June, with auditor certification) and the registration of the auditor's appointment in Form ADT-1 — so your company stays clear of deposit-rule and audit-compliance defaults.
Overview
Form DPT-3 is an annual return that companies file to report their deposits and the money received that is not treated as deposits — such as loans from directors, advances and inter-corporate loans — outstanding as at the year-end. It is due by 30 June each year and is supported by an auditor's certificate.
Separately, every company must appoint an auditor and register the appointment with the ROC in Form ADT-1, within the prescribed time after the AGM. Both are easy to miss and both carry penalties. We prepare the DPT-3 with the auditor's input and file the ADT-1, as part of your annual compliance handled by our corporate law team.

Frequently asked questions
Form DPT-3 is an annual return in which a company reports its deposits and the money it has received that is not treated as deposits — such as loans from directors, advances against orders and inter-corporate loans — outstanding as at the financial year-end. It is a key part of compliance with the deposit rules.
DPT-3 is filed annually, by 30 June, for amounts outstanding as at 31 March of that year. It must be filed even where the amounts are loans not treated as deposits, so most companies with any borrowings need to file. We track the deadline and file on time.
Yes. The DPT-3 return is supported by an auditor's certificate regarding the amounts reported, so it is prepared in coordination with the company's auditor. We gather the data, classify the amounts and obtain the auditor's certification.
Form ADT-1 is the filing by which a company registers the appointment of its auditor with the ROC, filed within the prescribed time after the appointment is made at the AGM. It is a mandatory compliance, and we file it for you each time an auditor is appointed.
Certain receipts are excluded from the definition of deposits — for example, loans from directors out of their own funds, advances for the supply of goods or services, and specified inter-corporate loans — but these still have to be reported in DPT-3. We classify your receipts correctly.
Missing DPT-3 or ADT-1 attracts penalties on the company and its officers, and non-reporting of deposits can have further consequences under the deposit rules. Timely, accurate filing avoids these, which is exactly what we ensure.
