Condonation of Delay
Condonation of Delay
If a company misses a statutory deadline for an MCA filing that cannot be filed with additional fees or backdated, the only way to regularise it is by seeking Condonation of Delay. This involves applying to the Regional Director (RD) for special permission to accept a late filing. It’s a technical process that requires detailed justification, supporting documents, and proper representation.
We handle the entire condonation process so the delay is approved without unnecessary hurdles.
What we do
Review the missed filing and confirm if condonation is required
Prepare board resolutions and detailed explanations for the delay
Draft and file the Condonation Application (Form CG-1)
Compile supporting documents and affidavits
Represent the company before the Regional Director
File the RD order with MCA and complete the pending filing
Why this matters
Without condonation, certain filings remain invalid, which affects the company’s records, share capital, charges, appointments, or other critical data. Condonation brings the company back into compliance and prevents further legal exposure.
