Background of the company

As per Rule 8(1) and 8(3) of the Companies (Registration Office and Fees) Rules, 2014, every electronic form must be signed using a digital signature. Also, the person who signs and certifies the form is responsible for ensuring that all the information and attached documents are correct.

In this case, the company filed the AOC-4 XBRL form on 01.02.2026. While filing, it was mistakenly mentioned that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) provisions were not applicable, even though they actually were applicable. The form was digitally signed and declared by the director of the company.
