24 August 2014 No need to file form MGT 14 in above mentioned case.

Filing of form MGT.14 is mandated by section 117 of the Companies Act, 2013. Section 117(2), prescribe the penalty for non-filing of form MGT.14.

As per Section 117(2), if a company fails to file the resolution or the agreement under sub-section (1) before the expiry of the period specified under section 403 with additional fee, the company shall be punishable with fine which shall not be less than five lakh rupees but which may extend to twenty-five lakh rupees and every officer of the company who is in default, including liquidator of the company, if any, shall be punishable with fine which shall not be less than one lakh rupees but which may extend to five lakh rupees.
