FAQs
What is CIN?
The Corporate Identification Number (CIN) is a 21 digits alpha-numeric code issued to companies on being registered by the Registrar of Companies (ROCs) situated in different states across India under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). The CIN is the unique identification number of a company and must be entered in all the forms required to be filed by the company on the MCA portal.
What is ROC?
The Registrar of Companies ( ROC ) is an office under the MCA, which deals with the administration of companies in India. The Registrar of Companies (ROCs) is operating in all the major states/UT’s. The ROCs register companies across the states and the UTs, maintain a registry of records concerning companies that are registered with them and allow the general public to access this information on payment of a stipulated fee.
What are assets under charge?
A charge means a right or interest obtained by a creditor or lender in the property of the company by way of security that the company will pay back the debt. A company’s borrowings are backed by securities, on the strength of which loans are given to them by the banks and financial institutions. Assets under charge are the assets of the company upon which a charge is created for the company’s borrowing.
Every company creating or modifying a charge on its property or assets should register the particulars of charge with the ROC within 30 days of such creation. The company registration search provides the details of the assets under the charge of the company registered with the ROC.
