📌 Income Tax Compliance Reminder: E-File Form No. 3CEK by 29th June 2025

As the financial year 2024–25 concludes, eligible investment funds must prepare for a crucial compliance requirement — Form No. 3CEK under Section 9A of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This filing is essential to maintain transparency and regulatory alignment with the Indian tax authorities.

🧾 What is Form 3CEK?

Form 3CEK is a mandatory disclosure form that must be filed electronically by eligible investment funds operating under Section 9A. It captures key financial and operational data for the previous financial year to demonstrate compliance with prescribed conditions, particularly those relating to:

  • Management and control of the fund from outside India

  • Minimum corpus requirements

  • Investor thresholds

  • Investment restrictions

  • Business structure and activity reporting

Failure to file Form 3CEK on time may jeopardize the fund’s eligibility for tax exemptions under Section 9A, leading to significant financial and legal consequences.

🗓 Due Date for FY 2024–25

The due date for submitting Form No. 3CEK for the financial year 2024–25 is:

🔔 29th June 2025
