The charge not registered u/s 77, shall not be taken into account by the liquidator appointed under this Act or the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, as the case may be or any other creditor at the time of winding up of company. However, when the company is a going concern, it shall be liable under instrument creating charge, even though the charge is not registered. Therefore it is important from the point of view of the person in whose favour charge is created.
POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED
1. Form CHG-1 is to be digitally signed by a director or manger or CEO or CFO or Company Secretary or Any authorised representative. Also declaration is to be given by the person in whose favour the charge is created by way of digital signatures. Thereafter, form is to be certified by the practicing professional (PCA/ PCS/ PCMA).
2. Where a company fails to register the charge within the period of thirty days, then the person in whose favor the charge is created may apply to the Registrar for registration of the charge along with the instrument created for the charge.
3. When charge is paid in full then company shall give intimation to the Registrar in CHG-4, regarding payment or satisfaction in full of any registered charge. And thereafter the registrar will issue certificate of satisfaction of charge in CHG-5.
4. For registration of charge in case of debentures (including rectification) Form CHG-9 will be filed instead of CHG-1.
