The Central Government is laying great emphasis on the compliance of law and has shown its clear intention. The Directors and Companies are under the annual/regular compliance of online KYC, and in case of failure to do it, the companies and directors are barred from filing of some specific event based forms. Further, the online portal for issuance of notice for non-compliances has been activated, which requires time bound reply and in case of failure, the Registrar is also adjudicating the companies and their officers-in-default for non compliance of various provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and imposing huge penalty on them.
The Central Government has also provided various relaxations for smooth legal compliances by the companies by way of amendments in the Rules and circulars and paved a path for holding the Annual General Meeting and Extra Ordinary General Meeting Through Video Conferencing (VC) and Other Audio Video Means (OAVM) without requiring physical presence of the members at the venue of the Meeting. It has also enabled the holding of the Board and Committee meetings through Video Conferencing (VC) and Other Audio Video Means (OAVM) for larger participation with social distancing.
