Giving this information in the Lok Sabha today Shri Salman Khurshid, Minister of Corporate Affairs said the unit will inter-alia perform following main functions:
The ministry of corporate affairs is planning to introduce extensible business reporting language (XBRL) for its MCA 21 portal, which is the database for 9 lakh companies in India. This means that the companies will also have to file their documents in the XBRL format, which would inturn increase their compliance cost. At present, XBRL is being followed in many countries including the US, where after a period of voluntary compliance with XBRL, they are now moving towards mandatory XBRL filings for the domestic companies.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has decided to put the early-warning system on the backburner due to technical snags.Sources close to the development said the software-based system incorporated ten financial parameters for diagnosing problems in a company which was not giving the desired results.
After a lull, the contentious provisions regarding mergers and acquisitions (M&A’s) of the amended Competition Act is back on the discussion table of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). The Ministry is planning to hold a meeting with the new anti-monopoly watchdog the Competition Commission of India (CCI) and the stakeholders in the first week of December to discuss the M&A clauses – Sections 5 and 6 – that are yet to be notified, official sources told to leading business newspaper.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has established Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) to act as the capacity building support for the officers / officials of the Ministry on issues relating to effective corporate functioning and regulation. The Institute can also design and deliver training programmes on such areas relating to corporate laws and regulations on specific requests from concerned Ministry / Department / Organisation. Giving this information in the Rajya Sabha, Shri Salman Khurshid, Minister of Corporate Affairs, said in a written reply that an elaborate regulatory framework is in place to deal with cases like Satyam scam.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) wants to shed its stern regulatory image and acquire a gentler, corporate-friendly reputation. The new mantra is to be a facilitator in corporate growth instead of just another regulator. The mantra is now being translated into action. For example, to cut out subjectivity in decisions, MCA has decided that field officers will not conduct any scrutiny of company balance sheets or send notices based on personal judgments or external tips.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has decided to conduct a quarterly scrutiny of the end-use of funds raised through initial public offers (IPO). To this end, the ministry has directed all Registrar of Companies (RoC) to coordinate with the stock exchanges to access the quarterly balance sheets of all companies that have come out with IPOs in the recent past.
