Appointment of Auditors for first AGM for filing for FY 2014-15

Every company shall at its First AGM appoint an Individual or firm as an auditor who shall hold office from conclusion of that AGM till conclusion of sixth AGM and thereafter till conclusion of every sixth AGM

E.g, if your company was registered on 21st July 2014, then, your Financial year ends on following 31st March i.e. 31st March 2015, so first AGM should be held on 31st Dec 2015 (within 9 months from the end of first FY).

So, now the company must appoint its First Auditors for a term of 6 years on its First AGM i.e on 31st Dec 2015.

E.g if your company has its Second AGM for FY 2014-15, then, due date of AGM for this company would be 30th Sep 2015 (within 6 months from ending of FY). So, this company is not required to appoint auditors but they need to ratify the appointment of Auditors in this AGM by passing Ordinary Resolution. So, for ensuing 6th AGM, the company has to place the matter for Ratification for Appointment of Auditors. THis is basically confirmation of auditors appointment.

There is no requirement to file Form ADT 1 everytime you ratify.
Form ADT 1 has to be filed for appointment.
Though, Eligibility Certificate has to be given by the Auditor.
While drafting Notice of AGM, it is recommended to give Explanatory Statement for ratification of Auditors, though not mandatory as it is Ordinary Resolution and not special Resolution.

HOW TO NORMALISE DORMANT COMPANY

HOW TO NORMALISE DORMANT COMPANY

When a company is formed and registered under Companies Act 2013 for some future project and has no significant accounting transaction, such inactive company can make application to registrar for dormant Status.

Now, when that future project has come up or very near, and you are willing to again make it active, then, you need to follow some key steps as below;

Application for seeking status of an active company:

·         An application under sub-section (5) of section 455, for obtaining the status of an active company shall be made in Form MSC-4 along with the fees as prescribed  and shall be accompanied by a return in form MSC-3 in respect of the financial year in which the application for obtaining the status  of an active company is being filed.
It is to be noted that the registrar shall initiate the process of striking off the name of the company if the company remains as a dormant company for the period of consecutive 5 years.
·         The Registrar shall, after considering the application filed under rule as discussed above , issue a certificate in Form MSC-5 allowing the status of an active company to the applicant.
·         Where a dormant company does or omits to do any act mentioned in the grounds of application in form MSC-1 submitted to Registrar for obtaining the status of dormant company, affecting its status of dormant company, the directors shall within 7 days from such event, file an application, for obtaining the status of an active company.
·         Where the Registrar has reasonable cause to believe that any company registered as ‘dormant company’ under his jurisdiction has been functioning in any manner, directly or indirectly, he may initiate the proceedings for enquiry and if, after giving a reasonable opportunity of being heard to the company in this regard, it is found that the company has actually been functioning, the Registrar may remove the name of such company from register of dormant company and treat it as an active company.
It is important to note that a dormant company is required to file Annual Return indicating financial position duly audited by a Chartered Accountant in Practice in eForm MSC 3 every year within 30 days from the end of each Financial Year.
Further to this, otherwise, the dormant company shall continue to file other event based compliances in the same manner as if it is an active company.
