Exemption for Form ADT-1 through GNL-2

According to notification from Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) on 13th May 2019 (General Circular No. 06/2019, dated 13-05-2019), stakeholders are given a new deadline without any extra fee for those who filed ADT-1 through GNL-2 amid 01-04-2014 and 20-10-2014 for notifying the appointment of auditor for the period 01-04-2014 to 31-03-2019 owing to non-availability of e-form ADT-1 during the above mentioned  period.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs received representation from stakeholders concerning the matter. The MCA has issued a clarification that,

“Companies which had filed Form no. ADT-1 through GNl-2 as an attachment (by selecting ‘others’) during the period from 01.04.2014 to 20.10.2014 may file e-form no. ADT- 1 for the appointment of Auditor for the period up to 31.03.2019 without fee, till 15.06.2019.”

As e-form of ADT-1 was not available from 01-04-2014 and 20-10-2014, most of the corporations filed ADT-1 as an attachment (through selecting “others”) towards Form GNL-2 intimating the appointment of Auditor for the period amid 01-04-2014 to 31-03-2019. This is inspected and explained after representation towards Ministry of Corporate Affairs from stakeholders looking for a relaxation of fee for filing e-Form ADT-1, that the stakeholders who have submitted ADT-1 through GNL-2 amid 01-04-2014 and 20-10-2014 are given a new deadline of 15-06-2019 without any extra fee as fee had been paid already when filing GNL-2 for the same purpose. Stakeholders are recommended in the direction of making the use of this one time opportunity as well as file ADT-1 without fee and within the stated deadline of 15th June 2019.
