18 December 2011 All Companies which have not filed their statutory annual filings for both form 20B
and 23AC / 23ACA since 2006 i.e. 2006-2007, 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 (i.e. has not done
any of the six required filings) will not be allowed to file any other e-form with Ministry of Corporate Affairs unless and
until all such pending documents are filed. The status of such companies would be changed to “Dormant".

19 December 2011 Dear Member,

There is no automatic process to make a Company a Dormant one. The ROC office does random check and the Company which are traced are listed as Dormant. Otherwise manier times it happens that a Company has not filed documents for a longer period is left out but others are caught.
