Why are ROC Compliances imposed on Companies /LLP?
ROC Compliances are mandatory for companies as it helps the Registrar to bring better transparency to the working of a company towards its investors and the general public.
The objective of ROC compliance is to safeguard the interest of investors/directors/promoters and other institutions for keeping a check on the working of the entity.
Also for companies, ROC Compliances assure maintenance of a disciplinary routine over their activities and build more trust of investors over its operations, memorandum, ownership, and financial status.
Why compliance of ROC returns is mandatory?
It is a mandate over companies to comply with the ROC filings every year. MCA(Ministry of Corporate Affairs ) notifies different ROC Compliances along with their due dates for the entities.
For non-compliance and delays in ROC Compliances by companies, there are strict penalty provisions from MCA. Apart from statutory obligations from MCA, the company has to oblige the ROC for all compliance filings.
In case any contravention to any provision of the act is done, ROC can impose hefty penalties on the company or the person responsible for such default or can even strike off name of the company from the government records.
