Statutory Register Maintenance

Maintaining statutory registers is a crucial compliance requirement for companies under the Companies Act 2013. These registers serve as official records of significant company details, such as members, directors, charges, and meetings. Ensuring that these documents are accurately maintained is not just a legal obligation, but also a best practice in corporate governance, aiding transparency and accountability.

Importance of Statutory Registers

Statutory registers comprise several essential records:

1. Register of Members: Details about the company's shareholders, including their names, addresses, the shares they hold, and any changes in shareholding.

2. Register of Directors and Key Managerial Personnel (KMP): Information about the company’s directors, including personal details, appointment dates, and their other directorships.

3. Register of Charges: Documenting any charges or mortgages against the company's assets.

4. Minutes of Board Meetings and General Meetings: Recording decisions made at meetings, which are legally required to be maintained and signed by the chairman of the meeting.

5. Register of Contracts: Details of any contracts in which directors are interested, as per Section 189 of the Companies Act, 2013.

By maintaining these records meticulously, companies can ensure compliance and enhance management’s ability to make informed decisions.
