DPT-3 review: classify balances before preparing a return

Return preparation using relevant company financial information.

Understanding the service

DPT-3 applicability depends on the company and the amounts covered by the rules. We review financial information and supporting classifications before preparing the return.

Analyse what the balances represent

Start with the company category and the relevant financial-period balances. Review the nature, source and terms of receipts rather than assuming every loan or advance is classified identically. Supporting agreements and ledgers help explain the actual transaction.

Build a reconciliation for review

Match the reporting schedule with the books and identify exclusions or classifications requiring professional review. Retain the basis of each treatment and any required auditor information. A return assembled from an unexplained closing total is harder to defend or correct later.

Preparation checklist

Use this as a starting file, not a universal eligibility decision. ACS confirms the final checklist against your actual entity, activity and reporting period.

  • CIN, company registration and authorised-signatory records
  • Approved accounts, audit records and relevant schedules
  • Meeting dates, resolutions and appointment or ownership particulars
  • Previous filings and relevant acknowledgements

Keep originals and final versions distinguishable. Record missing information before submission and use the agreed private channel for sensitive evidence.

Frequently asked questions

Does every company need the same DPT-3 filing?

No. Applicability and reporting content depend on the company and covered transactions.

Can an ordinary spreadsheet decide deposit status?

A spreadsheet can organise data, but the legal classification requires review of the actual facts and rules.

What does the listed professional fee include?

The ACS fee covers only the work confirmed in your quote. Government fees, taxes, provider or certification-body charges and additional professional work are separate unless expressly included. Booking does not activate an online payment.

What should I share for the first discussion?

Start with your requirement and the relevant period or project. The callback form needs only your name and mobile number. Share identity, banking or financial documents only through the agreed private workflow.
