Special Drive to clear pendency of e-forms filed with ROC
IT is noticed that a large number of e-forms filed by the companies with the ROCs prior to implementation of revised Regulation 17 of the Companies Regulations, 1956 are still pending in folders like RESUB, PUCL etc for want of action on the part of stakeholders. Unless companies respond to this, ROC's are unable to process the said forms.
As per the existing process, the companies have to resubmit or furnish their clarification in Form 67 within the stipulated period of 30 days failing which such forms, filed prior to 15.02.2009, will lie pending in MCA 21.
In order to reduce the pendency of such e-forms, Ministry has decided to re-open all such pending forms and the same have been placed in the category ‘Held in Abeyance' (HIAB) so that ROCs can review the same. Therefore, all ROCs are advised by the Ministry to review such pending work items with them and dispose it of by July 7, 2011.
All the stakeholders are requested to track the work items in MCA 21 Portal and contact the concerned ROCs to help them clear the pendency. Ministry states that this is the last opportunity provided to clear the pendency.
