Note: Measures taken to provide relief during COVID-19 for FY 2020-21:
- There won’t be an additional fee charged for any delay in the filing of pending returns or documents with the MCA. Similarly, there will be no additional fee for delay in filings due between 1 April 2020 and 30 September 2020.
- The Companies Act, 2013 prescribes a minimum of 120 days between 2 Board meetings of a Company. The minimum period is extended by 60 days for the two quarters falling in the period 1 April 2020 to 30 September 2020.
- The Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020 will be applicable from the FY 2020-21 instead of FY 2019-20. Hence, CARO 2020 has to be followed for audits commencing April 2021.
- Independent directors are required to hold at least one meeting in a financial year. For the FY 2019-20, if the independent directors are unable to hold a single meeting, they will not be penalised.
