About Scheme
-
Every company has to file Financial Statements and Annual Returns with the Registrar of Companies every year. In addition to this, various other statements, documents, returns, etc are required to be filed within the prescribed time limits. Late filing or non-filing leads to heavy penalties and prosecution of Directors.
-
The Government has received representations from various stakeholders requesting for grant of one-time opportunity, so as to enable them to file all their pending compliances by filing necessary documents without any late fees.
-
So, the Government has decided to introduce a scheme namely Companies Fresh Start Scheme, 2020 condoning the delay in filing without charging any additional fee and granting immunity from launching of prosecution or imposing the penalty.
