The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has issued the Companies (Specification of Definition Details) Amendment Rules, 2025, significantly revising the financial criteria used to classify a company as a small company under the Companies Act, 2013.

These revised thresholds will now apply for determining a small company under Section 2(85) of the Companies Act, 2013.

The enhancement of thresholds is intended to:

• Bring more companies under the “small company” category
