How to Fix the “DSC Not Registered” Error While Filing ADT-3 on MCA V2

Many professionals filing Form ADT-3 on the MCA V2 portal have encountered a frustrating error stating, “DSC is not registered on with xxxx on MCA.” This issue seems to affect those professionals who hold a DIN (Director Identification Number) in addition to their professional role.

After some troubleshooting, here’s a step-by-step guide to resolve the error:

Steps to Resolve the DSC Registration Error:

  1. Go to MCA V2 Portal:
    Open the following link to access the MCA V2 portal: https://www.mca.gov.in/mcafoportal/showAssociateDSC.do.

  2. Select Role as Practicing Professional:

    • In the DSC registration section, choose the role as “Practicing Professional.”
    • Follow the steps to register your DSC in this capacity.

  3. Register as Director:

    • After registering as a practicing professional, repeat the process but this time select the role as “Director.” 

  4. Proceed with Form ADT-3:

    • Once both registrations are complete, return to the ADT-3 form and click on “Prescrutinise.”
    • This should resolve the DSC error, allowing you to proceed with the filing.
