Why DPT-3 appears in annual compliance searches
DPT-3 comes up because private companies may need to review loans, deposits, exempted deposits, and outstanding money-related records. Founders should not wait until annual filing season to understand the data.
What records to review
Review loans, advances, deposits, exempted deposits, shareholder or director funding, board approvals, financial statement notes, auditor records, and accounting classifications.

DPT-3 readiness should sit beside AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-3 KYC, ADT-1, statutory registers, and board documentation in the annual compliance calendar.
