Arbor Foods GmbH, a German company with a Chennai branch, changes its authorised representative in India on 10 March. Under the Companies Act, 2013, what must it do?

Arbor Foods must deliver a return containing the particulars of the alteration, in the prescribed form, to the Registrar within thirty days of the change. Section 380(3) extends the filing duty beyond the initial documents to any later alteration in them.

  2. BDeliver a return to the Registrar before 31 March of the next financial year
  3. CDeliver a return within sixty days of the alteration

Explanation

Section 380(3) requires that where any alteration is made in the documents delivered, the foreign company delivers a return of particulars of the alteration in the prescribed form within thirty days. The change in the person authorised to accept service is covered by documents under 380(1)(d). Thus the thirty-day return is needed, not nil filing.
