Yes, for filing forms like STK-3 (Indemnity Bond) and STK-4 (Affidavit) with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) in India, it is generally required that these documents are notarized or attested by an advocate.
Here's what each process entails:
1. **Notarization**: Notarization involves getting the document certified by a Notary Public. A Notary Public is an official who has the legal authority to authenticate the execution of documents. When a document is notarized, the Notary Public verifies the identity of the person signing the document and confirms that the signature is genuine.
2. **Attestation by Advocate**: Alternatively, the document can be attested by an advocate (lawyer). Advocates are authorized to attest to the execution of documents in accordance with legal requirements. Advocates typically attest to documents after verifying the identity of the signatory and ensuring that the document complies with relevant laws and regulations.
For STK-3 (Indemnity Bond) and STK-4 (Affidavit), these documents are important legal declarations and indemnifications made to the RoC in the process of striking off a company from the register. The RoC requires these documents to be executed properly to ensure their validity and authenticity.
Therefore, before submitting STK-3 and STK-4 to the RoC:
- Ensure that these documents are prepared accurately and completely.
- Get them notarized by a Notary Public or attested by an advocate.
- Follow any specific guidelines or requirements mentioned by the RoC or as per legal advice.
This process helps in ensuring that the documents are legally binding and compliant with the necessary formalities required by the Registrar of Companies.
