The Registrar of Companies (ROC), Patna issued an adjudication order dated 9 March 2026 under Section 454 of the Companies Act, 2013 for violation of Section 92(5) concerning non-filing of annual returns. The proceedings were initiated following a complaint that a private company incorporated on 11 December 2017 had failed to file its annual return for the financial year 2022–2023. An e-adjudication notice was issued on 26 September 2025 and hearings were scheduled on 6 January 2026 and later on 21 January 2026. However, neither the company nor its directors appeared before the adjudicating authority. The annual return for the year ended 31 March 2023 also remained unfiled. The authority therefore concluded that the company and its directors had defaulted under Section 92 of the Companies Act. Consequently, penalties were imposed under Section 92 read with Section 446B. The company was fined ₹46,500, while each director was penalised ₹25,000, with directions to rectify the default and pay penalties within 90 days.
