DPT-3 Auditor Registration
Filing the annual return of deposits and outstanding money or loans not considered deposits, certified by the company's statutory auditor, within the yearly deadline.
Every company other than a government company must file Form DPT-3 annually by 30th June, reporting deposits and any outstanding receipt of money or loans that are not treated as deposits under the Companies (Acceptance of Deposits) Rules, as on 31st March of that year. The form requires certification by the company's statutory auditor confirming the figures reported are accurate, making early coordination with the auditor essential to meet the deadline.

Deposits
Amounts received by the company that fall within the statutory definition of a deposit.
Non-Deposit Loans
Outstanding loans and receipts exempted from the definition of deposit, such as director loans meeting prescribed conditions.
Auditor Certification
The statutory auditor must certify the figures reported in the return before filing.

Why DPT-3 filing needs early coordination
What sets our approach apart.
Auditor sign-off takes time
The certification requirement means the return can't be filed at the last minute without auditor availability.
Misclassification invites scrutiny
Treating a genuine deposit as an exempted loan can expose the company to penalties under the Deposit Rules.
The deadline doesn't move with the AGM
DPT-3 is due by 30th June regardless of when the company's annual general meeting is held.
