Frequently Asked Regulatory & Compliance Questions

Authoritative insights structured for executive boards, corporate proprietors, and regulatory compliance

1

Why is a registered Partnership Deed under Section 58 superior to an unregistered deed?

Under Section 69 of the Indian Partnership Act 1932, an unregistered partnership firm is legally barred from filing a lawsuit in any civil court against third parties to enforce any right arising from a contract. Furthermore, partners of an unregistered firm cannot bring legal suits against each other or the firm for breach of trust or dissolution. Registering the firm with the state Registrar of Firms (RoF) grants complete legal standing.
Key Takeaway: Unregistered partnership firms have zero legal standing in Indian courts to recover debts from defaulting clients.
2

What is Form INC-20A (Commencement of Business) and why is it vital?

Under Section 10A of the Companies Act 2013, every company incorporated with share capital must file Form INC-20A with the Registrar of Companies within 180 days of incorporation, certifying that every subscriber to the Memorandum has paid the value of the shares agreed to be taken, accompanied by proof of bank account credit. Failing to file INC-20A prevents borrowing money and risks striking off the company name from the register.
Key Takeaway: Filing Form INC-20A within 180 days is mandatory before commencing commercial business or accepting bank debt.
