Company Changes / Event-Based Filings – Overview
What are Company Changes / Event-Based Filings?
Company changes or event-based filings refer to statutory filings required when a company undergoes structural, administrative, or capital changes. These include modifications in directors, partners, registered office, share capital, company name, memorandum or articles of association, and other corporate records. These filings ensure that MCA records are updated and legally compliant.
Eligibility for Company Changes / Event-Based Filings
All companies registered under the Companies Act, 2013, including Private Limited, Public Limited, and One Person Companies, are required to file event-based changes with MCA. LLPs must also file similar event-based changes under the LLP Act, 2008. Any company undergoing administrative, structural, or financial changes is eligible and required to make these filings.
Importance and Benefits of Company Changes / Event-Based Filings
Timely event-based filings ensure that corporate records are accurate, current, and legally compliant. They prevent penalties, regulatory notices, and administrative action by MCA. Proper filing improves corporate governance, strengthens credibility with banks, investors, and stakeholders, and maintains transparency in business operations.
Process of Company Changes / Event-Based Filings
The process begins with identification of the type of change and review of company documents. Relevant forms are prepared (e.g., DIR-12 for director changes, CHG-1 for registered office, SH-7 for share capital changes) and submitted online via the MCA portal. Supporting documents, approvals, and board resolutions are attached as required. Upon successful submission, acknowledgment receipts and updates are generated by MCA.
Documents Required for Company Changes / Event-Based Filings
Documents generally required include board resolutions, shareholder resolutions (if applicable), updated memorandum and articles of association, director/partner details, proof of registered office address, updated capital structure details, PAN and Aadhaar of directors/partners, and other supporting documents based on the type of change.
