MCA21 Mission Mode Project (MCA21) is the e-governance initiative from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India. It is one of the 27 Mision Mode Projects of the National e-Governance Plan. The portal is the key platform for companies to submit the required documents and filings. Besides, it provides public access to corporate information.
Need for the project
In the year 2002, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (then known as the Department of Company Affairs) was faced with the problem of providing services to nearly 7.5 lakh corporate entities.
Implementation
The project has been implemented by Tata Consultancy Services under a Build Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) model, with project monitoring done by external reviewers/auditors. The second phase of the project is being implemented by Infosys for the period January 2013 – July 2021. The new MCA21 portal, allows electronic filings of various documents under the Companies Act.
