Nordica AB, a Swedish company, establishes a place of business in Chennai on 1 March. As per the Companies Act, 2013, within what period must it deliver the prescribed documents to the Registrar for registration?

Nordica AB must file the prescribed documents with the Registrar within 30 days of establishing its place of business in Chennai. The Act sets this 30-day window for foreign companies, so longer periods such as 60, 90 or 180 days are wrong.
