Condonation of Delay For Satisfaction of Charge

Draft Documents For Condonation of Delay For Satisfaction of Charge

When the question for such condonation arises ?

 

The issue for condonation of delay arises only in two circumstances:
  1. When the company has failed to register the charges with the Registrar of Companies within 300 days from the creation or the modification of such charges. The provision is that the company needs to file form CHG-1 within 30 days from the date when such charge is created or modified, failing to which the company has another chance to file the form within 300 days from the date of such creation or modification but with some additional charges. If the company fails to file within such time period also, then there would be not alternative available with the company but to file the condonation of delay with the Central Government. 
  2. Second alternative when the condonation of delay needs to be filed is when the company fails to file form CHG-4 within 30 days of the satisfaction of the charge. The provision says that the companies require to file form CHG-4 within 30 days from the date of satisfaction of the charge, failing to which the company needs to apply for the condonation of delay.
