What is DPT-3?
All Private Limited Companies and OPCs must file DPT-3 every year by June 30, even if they have zero deposits. Director loans to the company are classified as deposits and must be disclosed. Most early-stage founders take personal loans to fund the company — all of these must be reported here.
Penalty for missing DPT-3
₹5,000 + ₹500 per day of continuing default. Directors can be personally fined. Maximum penalty can reach ₹10 crore.
