Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the amount for which Form CHG-1 needs to be filed concerning bank guarantees and cash credit (CC) limits. It addresses whether the charge should be filed for the guarantee amount, the CC limit, or the combined total, referencing Section 77 of the Companies Act 2013. The consensus leans towards filing for the total sanctioned amount, including the CC limit and any fixed deposits held as security for the guarantee, as these are considered assets of the company subject to charge creation.

As per section 77 of the Companies Act 2013, charge needs to be created on each and every assets of the Company. If the bank has given the guarantee amount of 50 laks and CC Limit is of Rs. 6.5 crore, then charge is to be created on 6.5 crores only as 50 lakhs is FD which is being hold by the bank and the charge is filed in Form CHG 1 within 30 days of creation of charge.

it should be 700 lacs. Is the charge created over the property of Company?

@ sanjay , in my opinion the charge is to be created for only Rs 650 lacs, becoz the company has given hypothecation only on Book debts. But for guarantee, only Fixed deposit of company will be held under lien..

@ Viswanath, FD is also an asset of the Company, when the same is being taken into lien it become a charge created by the bank on asset of the Company. Hence CHG should be for entire amount.
