ICSI Seeks Input on New Compliance Facilitation Scheme for 2026 The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) has invited professionals to submit questions and clarifications regarding the recently introduced Company Compliance Facilitation Scheme (CCFS) 2026. This initiative aims to simplify regulatory compliance for companies and assist them in resolving outstanding obligations under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. The scheme provides a structured framework for businesses to address gaps in regulatory filings and streamline their compliance processes. Established under the Company Secretaries Act, 1980, ICSI serves as India’s national professional body for company secretaries. It operates under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and is tasked with regulating, developing, and promoting the profession across the country. Through a circular dated March 19, 2026, ICSI outlined the CCFS 2026 as a mechanism to enable companies to rectify lapses in regulatory filings and improve compliance efficiency. The institute has called on its members and the broader professional community to submit specific and clear queries about the scheme by March 23, 2026, via a dedicated Google Form. These inputs will be compiled and forwarded to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to ensure timely clarifications and seamless implementation of the scheme. ICSI emphasized that this process will help align the scheme with practical challenges faced by businesses while ensuring regulatory adherence. ICSI continues to act as a bridge between the corporate sector and government authorities, fostering dialogue that strengthens regulatory frameworks while protecting professional interests.#ministry_of_corporate_affairs #icsi #company_secretaries_act_1980 #ccfs_2026 #google_form
