Deposits, loans, advances, and receipts
What Transactions Are Reported in DPT-3?
DPT-3 is not limited to public deposits. Depending on company records and transaction nature, it may involve reporting deposits, exempted deposits, outstanding loans, advances, or other receipts of money as on 31 March.
Common DPT-3 Reporting Areas
| Transaction / Balance Type | Why It Needs Review | Typical Filing Concern |
|---|---|---|
| Deposits | Amounts accepted as deposits may need reporting through Form DPT-3. | Deposit classification, balance as on 31 March, and supporting records. |
| Transactions not considered as deposits | Certain receipts may not be treated as deposits but may still need reporting. | Correct classification as exempted / non-deposit receipt. |
| Director loans | Loans from directors are commonly reviewed during DPT-3 applicability checks. | Declaration, source confirmation, ledger balance, and outstanding amount. |
| Inter-corporate loans | Loans or borrowings from companies or related entities may need review. | Loan agreement, ledger, board approval, and reporting classification. |
| Unsecured loans | Unsecured borrowings often require careful classification before filing. | Whether the balance is deposit, exempted deposit, or another reportable receipt. |
| Advances and money received | Outstanding advances or receipts may need to be checked based on purpose and ageing. | Whether outstanding balance as on 31 March is reportable in DPT-3. |
This is a practical review list, not a final legal classification. The correct DPT-3 position depends on transaction documents, accounting records, auditor review, and current MCA requirements.
