In case Company gets post dated letter from Bank??

Circular No. 10/91 bearing F. No. 3/23/98/CL V, dated 26-12-1991 issued by Department of Company Affairs (now the MCA) states that satisfaction of charge under section 138 shall be filed with the Registrar of Companies within thirty days from the date of satisfaction/payment of charge. Therefore, any time involved in collecting 'No dues Letter' from the charge holders shall not be considered and allowed.
Section 138 refers to the date of payment or satisfaction and there is no linkage to the date of bank's letter. It has been clarified by the Department vide Circular No. 2/96 [F. No. 14/1/95-CL-V], dated 15-4 1996 it has come to the notice that certain Registrars of Companies are insisting on a separate letter from Banks/Financial Institutions in respect of the date of satisfaction of charge even if Form 17 (now e-Form) had been signed by both the parties i.e., lender and the borrower. In terms of section 138(2) of the Companies Act, 1956, the Registrar is required to send a notice to the holder of the charge as to why the satisfaction should not be recorded as intimated to the Registrar. If e-Form 17 is signed by both the parties and certified by chartered accountant or company secretary or cost accountant and is filed with Registrar, the satisfaction of charge can be registered without issuing any notice to the holder of the charge under section 138(2) of the Act.
