Now file ADT 1 in place of GNL 2: New clarification by MCA

Good news for the companies who have appointed their statutory auditors through eForm GNL 2 during the initial days of enactment of Companies Act 2013. Now the companies can easily file eForm 22A for verification of their registered office after filing ADT 1 for the said period.

After receiving representations from companies and stakeholders, MCA decided to grant relaxation of fee for filing e-form no. ADT-1, particularly form ADT-1 filed through GNL-2 during the period from 01/04/2014 to 20/10/2014 for appointment of Auditor for the period from 01/04/2014 to 31/03/2019 due to non-availability of e-form ADT-1 during the said period.

Accordingly, the matter has been examined by MCA and it is here by clarified that companies which had filed form no. ADT-1 through GNL-2 as an attachment (by selecting ‘others’) during the period from 01/04/2014 to 20/10/2014 may file e-form no. ADT-1 for appointment of Auditor for the period upto 31/03/2019 without fee, till 15.06.2019 (since fee had been paid for filing GNL-2 for the same purpose) and thereafter fee and additional fee shall be applicable as per the Companies (Registration of Office and Fees) Rules, 2014.
