The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) in response to the representations from various stakeholders launched the FRESH START SCHEME through the circular dated 30th March, 2020.

As per  this scheme, all the defaulting companies would get an opportunity to file belated documents (such as Annual Return, Financial Statements etc ) on the MCA21 Electronic registry without being subject to a higher additional fees on account of any delay.

But this scheme does not solve the purpose of filing belated charge related documents.

Therefore, the stakeholders once again made the representations to MCA to provide relaxations with regard to charge related documents as well as this are tough time in COVID 19. Then, MCA vide a circular dated 17th June , 2020 come up with a scheme  for relaxation of time for filing forms related to creation or modification of charges under the Companies Act,2013.

But, if a company has created or modified any charge between 01.03.2020 to 30.09.2020 and the due date for filing the forms also lies after 01.03.202.Then, it would be eligible for the relaxations provided in the concerned circular.
