Guidelines for payment of Fixed Additional Fee on belated riling of documents [revised w.e.f. 1‑5‑1995]

 

Press Note No. 2/95, dated 21‑3‑1995‑ The Department of Company Affairs had earlier streamlined and standardised the additional fee under section 611(2) of the Companies Act in June, 1994 in respect of companies having authorised share capital upto Rs. 1 crore for delays upto one year in case of Form No. 5 under section 97 of the Act relating to increase in the authorised share capital and for delays upto 6 months in respect of other documents filed by companies with the Registrars of Companies. This liberalised procedure is working well. As per recommendations made by the Review Committee (Joshi Committee) set up by the Department, it has now been decided that the standardisation of additional fee be extended to all the companies irrespective of their authorised share capital and period of delay. Accordingly, the levy of fixed rates of additional fee will be regulated according to the following table with effect from 1‑5‑1995.

'Me aforesaid liberalised procedure will be convenient not only to the companies, but will also result in taking the documents on record expeditiously for public inspection.
