Companies Fresh Start Scheme, 2020 Companies can file pending forms, returns without late fees

The Ministry of Corporate Affair issued the circular dated 24th March, 2020, having Circular No. 11/2020 relaxing any additional payment payable by the company on late filing of e-Forms to ROC to provide relaxation to the corporate world causing devastating circumstances created by COVID-19 causing a global pandemic.

MCA in furtherance of the above circular issued new circular dated 30th March, 2020, vide circular number 12/2020. Through this circular MCA provided the amnesty scheme to the Indian Corporate.

The government by exercising the power granted to it under section 460 to be read along with section 403 introduced the scheme to be called as “Companies Fresh Start Scheme, 2020”. The scheme provides for condoning the delay in filing of the different e-forms including Annual Return etc.

Startup India Recognition and its benefits

The scheme provides for relaxation from payment of additional fees and protects from launching of prosecution and proceeding for imposing a penalty on account of late filing of e-Forms under the Companies Act, 2013. For any e-Form filing under this scheme, only normal fees will be charged.

The scheme also provides an opportunity for the inactive company to convert itself to dormant company and remain on the register of the Company with minimum compliance requirements.

“Inactive Company” means a company which has not been carrying on any business or operation, or has not made any significant accounting transaction during the last two financial years, or has not filed financial statements and annual returns during the last two financial years.

The scheme will be effective from 1st April, 2020, to 30th September, 2020, and will be applicable for all the companies. However, the scheme shall not apply in the following cases;

  • For Company to whom final notice for strike-off is already issued.

  • Amalgamated company.
  • For the Company which has already applied for obtaining dormant status. Vanishing Company.
  • The scheme will not be available in respect of following forms- SH-7, CHG-1, CHG-4, CHG-8 and CHG-9.
  • As per MCA, Vanishing Company means a company satisfying the following conditions:
  • a company fails to file returns with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) for two years.
  • a listed company fails to file returns with the stock exchange for two years.
  • the company doesn’t maintain its registered office at the address mentioned in the RoC.
  • the company’s directors cannot be traced.

When the company will file form they need to pay only normal fees. It is to be noted that immunity from prosecution and proceeding for imposing of penalty is limited to prosecution or proceeding for the penalty that may be launched due to non or late filing of e-Form. 

The scheme does not provide any immunity from proceeding that may be launched under the Companies Act, 2013 due to default in any other section. All the consequential proceeding including proceeding involving the interest of shareholders, directors or all the other stakeholders qua company will continue.

Now, the immunity under the scheme shall only be available in respect of proceeding imposition of the penalty for not filing of return of allotment that is default of Section 42(8) but not on default of utilization of fund i.e. default under Section 42(4).

In the case where Adjudicating Authority has passed the order but an appeal could not be made  

If the Company already received the order from Adjudicating Authority due delay in filing of different e-Form and no appeal has been made by the Company or its officer in default as on date of commencement of scheme i.e. 1st April, 2020, the following will apply;

  • In the case, the last date of appeal against such order is between 
  • 1st March, 2020, to 31st May, 2020, (Both Days included) – Additional 120 days will be provided from last day of making such appeal. 
  • During this additional period of 120 days, no prosecution shall be allowed for non-compliance of such order.

Common mandatory compliances for Private Limited Company

Further, it is provided that immunity shall not be applicable in the following cases;

  • Matter in respect of which appeal is pending in any court of law, and
  • Management dispute pending before any court of law or authority.
