Overview
INC 22A, also known as ACTIVE Form, stands for Active Company Tagging Identities and Verification. It is a mandatory compliance form introduced by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs under the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. The main objective of this form is to verify the existence of registered companies and confirm their registered office details.
Every company incorporated on or before 31st December 2017 was required to file INC 22A to confirm that it is actively carrying on business and that its registered office is genuine and functional. Through this form, the company provides details of its registered office along with a photograph of the office showing external building and inside office with at least one director or authorised signatory.
Filing of INC 22A is important to ensure that the company status on MCA portal remains Active Compliant. If the company fails to file this form within prescribed time, its status may be marked as Active Non Compliant. In such cases, the company cannot file certain other forms such as SH 7, PAS 3, DIR 12 for changes in directors or capital structure until the form is filed with additional fees.
Many companies face rejection due to incorrect attachments, mismatch in registered office details or non compliance in director KYC. BizGlobal assists companies in preparing INC 22A accurately, ensuring all directors have completed DIR 3 KYC, verifying registered office details, attaching proper photographs and filing the form smoothly so that your company remains compliant and free from restrictions.
