🔹 What is Form-20A?
Form-20A is a statutory declaration filed by the directors of a newly incorporated company under the Companies Act, 2013. It confirms to the ROC that the company has received its subscription money from shareholders and has started business operations. This declaration must be filed within 180 days of incorporation, and it’s essential for companies planning to issue shares or begin transactions.
The requirement was introduced to prevent shell companies and ensure only legitimate businesses operate. Companies that fail to file Form-20A on time are considered non-compliant, which can lead to severe penalties, disqualification of directors, or even removal from the register of companies.
Form-20A एक वैधानिक घोषणा है जिसे नई पंजीकृत कंपनियों के निदेशकों द्वारा दाखिल किया जाता है। यह ROC को पुष्टि करता है कि कंपनी को अपने शेयरधारकों से सब्सक्रिप्शन राशि प्राप्त हो चुकी है और उसने व्यवसाय संचालन शुरू कर दिया है।
यह फॉर्म कंपनी के पंजीकरण की तारीख से 180 दिनों के भीतर दाखिल किया जाना आवश्यक है।
