Dear Ritika,
If no form DIR-12 is filed then you can’t be considered as Company secretary of the company,However you have been appointed as ‘Compliance officer ‘ ,If such govt. Company is listed one, then say to BOD to mandatorily file DIR-12 ,if Not, then as per general understanding, You have been appointed as Officer in compliance department ( Whether exist or not) ,As a compliance officer your duty shall be limited to see Adherence of sector specific laws only.
Dear Sir/Mam,
I have an urgent query. i had been appointed as “Compliance Officer” in a government company last week. The problem is I am a CS having membership number(received 2 months back), but i this company as per the GM , I don’t have the authority to hold BM nor AGM. Also they are saying they will not file DIR-12 for appointment of CS(me). Like is this proper? will ROC put any penalty on me for it?? Is it compulsory for me to file DIR-12 for my appointment? also my salary has been outsourced by this govt co. My doubt was would I be liable for any penalty ????
Sub : Query relating to DIR-3 filed by mistake to incorporate a new company where all the proposed directors are not directors in any other company
Respected Sir/Mam,
To incorporate a new company and to add a director I have to fill a form called-SPICE.But by unintentional mistake I have filed form-DIR 3.Also all the directors are not associated with any company till now. But in form DIR-3 I have written Corporate identification number (CIN) of BRISTAL LIFE SCIENCE PVT LTD.(CIN-U74999GJ2017PTC096737) under clause Corporate identification number (CIN) of company/ LLPIN of the LLP with which the authorized signatory is associated and in which the applicant is proposed to be a director/designated partner in form DIR-3.But in reality they are not associated with aforesaid company as a director and in any other manner.
So I have a query that whether I have to surrender these directors DIN in form DIR-5 and then after whether I have to take a new DIN by filing a new form called SPICE.
Please do the needful and oblige.Should you require any other information I may kindly be informed.
Thanking You.
Thanks & Regards,
Kishan Patel
