This guide explains the complete legal procedure for shifting a company’s registered office across states under the Companies Act, 2013. It covers approvals, filings, Regional Director requirements, and post-shift compliances.
Tribunal directed convening of meetings of equity shareholders and unsecured creditors of the transferor company, dispensed with other meetings as prayed, and issued consequential directions regarding notices, advertisements, quorum, reporting and filing of the second motion petition for final approval of the scheme.
The NCLT noted that all shareholders of the Transferor Company and a substantial majority of unsecured creditors had consented to the Scheme. It allowed the application subject to issuance of notices and compliance with statutory directions.
The case concerned a request to release ₹9.15 crore held in a lien-marked DSRA despite an asset-freezing order. The Tribunal held that unresolved issues regarding approximately ₹166 crore in missing fixed deposits and the ongoing investigation required further scrutiny before permitting release.
NCLT Mumbai approved NSE Academy’s ₹241.32 crore selective capital reduction, allowing repayment of excess preference capital under Section 66 of the Companies Act.
The NCLT refused to dispense with the transferee company’s equity shareholders’ meeting because no certified list of shareholders was produced. It directed the company to convene the meeting while issuing further directions for creditor meetings under the proposed amalgamation.
NCLT Ahmedabad held that the transferee failed to establish any lawful title to 21,000 equity shares, making the transfer unsustainable. The Tribunal directed restoration of the original shareholders’ names and rectification of the company’s Register of Members.
NCLT Kolkata held that a Senior Assistant Director of the SFIO could file a winding-up petition where the Central Government had issued a valid authorisation. The Tribunal dismissed the challenge to the petition’s maintainability.
