Filing of Annual Return

I think it must be before 29.11.09...........

Dear Raman,

As you know annual return contains the information up to the date of AGM. So you can not file annual return before AGM. Hence file your annual return within 60 days of conclusion of AGM under section 159 i.e. up to the date of 27.01.2010.

Dear Mr. Garg

Thanks for your reply.

The query was raised as some of my professional collegues are of the view that it should be filed before 29-11-09 because of the stipulation in the explanation which refers to the latest date on or before which the AGM ought to have been held under the Act.

In my view since S. 159 refers to only 166 (and not 210), and as time has been granted by RoC under S. 166 in the present case  we can take a stand that the last date for holding AGM is 31-12-2009 and accordingly file the form by 27-1-2010 (60 days of AGM).

Regards

Raman
