DPT-3 Return Filing

File DPT-3 — the annual return of deposits and amounts not treated as deposits (including loans) — with the Registrar, prepared accurately.

Overview

DPT-3 is an annual return through which a company reports deposits and amounts that are not treated as deposits — for example, loans from directors or shareholders and certain advances — outstanding as at the financial year-end. Most companies are required to file it.

CapEasy classifies your balances correctly (what is and isn’t a “deposit”), reconciles the figures and files DPT-3 with the supporting particulars on time.

Who it’s for

  • Private limited and other companies with loans, advances or outstanding receipts
  • Founders who’ve taken director or shareholder loans during the year
  • Companies that need to confirm whether DPT-3 applies to them

Eligibility & requirements

  • A clear split of amounts treated vs not treated as deposits
  • An auditor’s certificate where required

Frequently asked questions

My company only has a director’s loan — do I still file DPT-3?

Often yes — a director’s loan is typically an “amount not considered a deposit” that still has to be reported in DPT-3. We confirm your exact position before filing.

When is DPT-3 due?

DPT-3 is an annual return tied to the financial year-end; the precise date depends on the current rules, which we track for you.

Is an auditor’s certificate needed?

It’s required in certain cases. We tell you whether yours needs one and arrange it with your auditor as part of the filing.
