Points for Company Law for the period 15th September 2010 to 15th October 2010.

1. Computer-generated show-cause notices have been issued to
a number of defaulting companies that were not filing their documents in the
MCA21 system as a part of the drive to cleanse the MCA Registry by the Ministry
of Corporate Affairs. The Ministry notes that while migrating data from manual
registry into electronic registry under MCA21, certain inaccuracies might have
crept in; and as such computer-generated notices may contain some errors, like
wrong addresses/wrong names of companies, etc. Some directors who have already
resigned, or some companies which may have been merged or liquidated, might not
have been recorded in the electronic registry. In case any discrepancy is found
in such show-cause notice issued, the same may kindly be intimated to the
respective ROC, so that the electronic registry data is made up-to-date.

2. MCA is planning to introduce SMS alert facility for the
Annual Filing eForms. Stakeholders can register for this service using the ‘Register
for SMS alerts’ link after logging on to the portal. Presently, this
facility is applicable only for Annual Filing eForms i.e., 20B, 23AC, 23ACA, 66
and 21A.
