Charges
Registering a charge
When a company secures a loan against its assets, for example with a bank, the charge is registered with the ROC in Form CHG-1 within 30 days of its creation. A change in its terms is filed the same way.
When the loan is repaid, the company reports the satisfaction of the charge in Form CHG-4 within 30 days, so the charge is closed on the MCA record.

No. Annual filings are made every year. These are event-based filings, made when a change happens.

The form used to file certain resolutions with the ROC, including special resolutions. It is filed within 30 days of the resolution.
What happens if a change is reported late?
MCA charges additional fees for late filing, and the company and its officers can face penalties.
Who signs the ROC forms?
A director of the company signs with a valid digital signature (DSC). Some forms are also certified by a practising professional.

Neither. Complianto is a compliance facilitation platform operated by Mentorcorp Private Limited. You can also file directly on the MCA portal without our fee.
