On May 03, 2021, Ministry of Corporate Affairs published a General Circular No. 06/2021 relaxing the time and additional fees to be payable by any Company or LLP till July 31, 2021, regarding Forms that are scheduled for filing between 01 April 2021, to 31 May 2021 (except charge related forms). A fee waiver means when someone charges you a lower fee than usual.
Also Ministry of Corporate Affairs publishes General Circular No. 07/2021 for giving relaxation to the Companies to file the forms CHG 1 and CHG 9 for the creation or modification of charge as below:
- The charges created or modified before 01/04/2021 but the timelines for furnishing such forms not expired on 01/04/2021 can be filed with ROC without any additional fees by 31/05/2021
- The charges created or modified between 01/04/2021 to 31/05/2021 can be filed with ROC without any additional fees by 31/07/2021.
Cases in which Circular 7/2021 does not apply
- If form CHG 1/CHG 9 is already filed before the issuance of this circular
- The time period is already expired under sections 77 and 78 before 01/04/2021.
- The time period for filing the forms expires a future date, despite the exclusion of the time provided in case (b) above
- In case of filing of Form CHG4.
Ministry had first issued a list of 10 such forms on 13th May 2021 and then they revised the list with 18 forms on 22.05.2021 and now on 28th May 2021, they further revised the list to a list of 40 Forms that means 22 additional forms are added to the list.
