The challenge
Hariom Textiles Pvt Ltd, a mid-size textile manufacturer with 120+ employees, had neglected their ROC annual filing obligations for two consecutive financial years. The delay triggered compounding penalties under Section 137 of the Companies Act, 2013, accumulating to over ₹4 lakhs. The company's directors were worried about the mounting penalties and the risk of the company being struck off by MCA. They needed an experienced compliance partner who could handle the condonation of delay process and negotiate with the Registrar of Companies.
Our approach
We deployed a dedicated compliance team to handle this complex situation. Our systematic approach included:
Documentation Recovery: Gathered all missing financial statements, annual reports, and board resolutions for both financial years from the company's records.
Condonation of Delay Filing: Prepared and filed Form NCDRT (condonation of delay) with MCA, providing valid reasons for the delay along with supporting evidence.
Back-Dated AOC-4 & MGT-7: Filed the delayed AOC-4 (Annual Return) and MGT-7 (Financial Statement) forms for both years, ensuring complete financial disclosures.
Penalty Negotiation: Engaged with the ROC office to negotiate reduced compounding penalties based on the company's genuine reasons and prompt corrective action.
Compliance Restoration: Established a recurring annual compliance calendar and automated reminder system to prevent future delays.
Key results
- Compounding penalties reduced by 70% from ₹4L to ₹1.2L through successful negotiation
- Both years of delayed ROC filings completed and accepted by MCA
- Company status restored from 'Defaulting' to 'Active'
- Zero further MCA notices or penalties after resolution
- Automated compliance calendar set up to prevent future delays
