Nordic Textiles AB established a place of business in Surat on 1 March. While preparing the covering list of documents for the Registrar, the company secretary must fix the time limit for delivery. What is the correct period under the Companies Act, 2013?

A foreign company must deliver the specified documents to the Registrar within thirty days of establishing its place of business in India. The period runs from establishment of the place of business, not from a financial year end or a board meeting, as section 380(1) provides.

  2. BWithin thirty days of establishing the place of business in IndiaCorrect
  3. CWithin ninety days of the end of the financial year
  4. DWithin fifteen days of the first board meeting held in India

Explanation

Section 380(1) requires delivery of the prescribed documents within thirty days of establishment of the place of business in India. Sixty or ninety days, or a period tied to a board meeting, are not the statutory trigger.
