Brightwave Ltd, a UK company, filed its section 380 documents in 2025. In 2026 it changed the list of directors and the address of its Indian principal place of business on 10 June. The company secretary is drafting the follow-up filing. Which statement is correct?

The company must deliver to the Registrar, within thirty days of the alteration, a return in the prescribed form containing the particulars of the alteration. Section 380(3) requires this on its own, without waiting for a notice, and it covers the changes rather than a complete refiling.

Explanation

Section 380(3) says that where any alteration is made or occurs in the documents delivered, the foreign company must deliver within thirty days of the alteration a return containing particulars of the alteration in the prescribed form. It is a return of the alteration, not a full refiling, and is not triggered by notice.
