Roc return filing

Dear Vaibhav,

All companies file form 23AC along with form 23ACA. However, in case of private Companies, profit and loss account, is not displayed on the MCA portal as it is not public document in case of private Company only.

As per Sec 220 of the Comapnies Act 1956 every co shall file eith the registrar 3 copies of Balance Sheet, profit and loss a/c and all the documents which are required to be annexed or attached to the balance sheet.

Therefore  filing of form 23 ACA is mandatory for private limited companies also.

Restriction on public inspection of Profit and Loss A/c

In the case of a private company, copies of the balance sheet and copies of the profit and loss account shall be filed with the Registrar separately. Accordingly no person other than a member of the co shall be entitled to inspect, or obtain copies of the Profit and Loss a/c.

In agreement with Ankur.

Otherwise also, technically speaking Form 23AC cannot be file alone @ MCA portal, if not accompanied with Form 23ACA.

Yex, It is mandatory to file Form 23ACA for the pirvate limited company.


 

Thanks to all of you.

Hi Ankur i totally agree with you that form 23ACA is not displayed on the MCA portal as it is not public document in case of private Company.

Can you pls explain what is the procedure to file 23 ACA so that it cannot be viewed by the public, because in past i have filed this form and it is viewable to public.

Pls explain ?

REgards,

Vaibhav

Nothing special Vaibhav ji.... It is to be filed as filed for public companies, it is automatically not shown on MCA portal in respect of private Companies...

Dear Vaibhav, special care should be given with regard to attachment of document in case of Private Company with Form 23AC, attach Balance Sheet, do not attach Profit and Loss Account in Form 23AC, otherwise profit and loss can also be inspected but in no case 23ACA will be available for Public for inspection in case of Private LImited Company.

hey ... can anybody please guide me .... if the company is not functioning then also filing ROC is important.... not functioning means that may be last year we operated but this year we were shut down... how to do the filling in this case... as there is no profit and loss account no balance sheet... nothing happening ...
