An adjudication order confirms personal penalties on officers in default for breach of Section 92 filing obligations. The ruling highlights that directors remain accountable when statutory filings are ignored.
The Registrar imposed penalties for failure to file Form MGT-7 within the prescribed time. The order reiterates strict compliance with annual return filing requirements despite concessional treatment for eligible entities.
The order holds that failure to issue share certificates within the prescribed two-month period attracts penalties under Section 56(6). Subsequent rectification does not erase the original default.
ROC held that filing an AOC-4 with an incorrect AGM date constitutes a completed default. Subsequent rectification or marking the form as defective does not erase penalty liability.
ROC held that correcting an e-form later does not nullify the original violation. Companies and signatories remain liable for filing inaccurate statutory information.
This case explains that errors in mandatory e-forms, including incorrect AGM details, amount to statutory non-compliance. Both the company and the authorised signatory were penalised under Section 450.
The Registrar penalised a company for missing mandatory disclosures in share allotment filings. The order clarifies that even inadvertent procedural lapses attract penalties, though relief may apply to eligible start-ups.
The order holds that missing mandatory disclosures in share issue filings violate Section 62 read with Rule 13. Even inadvertent procedural lapses can trigger penalties under the residual provision of the Companies Act.
The adjudicating authority held that filing an AOC-4 with incorrect particulars attracts penalty even if the error is later admitted and rectified. Administrative correction does not nullify the completed contravention under the Companies Act.
This explains how Company Secretaries ensure legal, governance, and compliance preparedness before listing. The key takeaway is that IPO success depends as much on governance as on financials.
