What is INC-20A and why must it be filed?
INC-20A is a declaration of commencement of business under Companies Act 2013 s.10A. Every company incorporated after 2 November 2018 must file it within 180 days of incorporation, confirming that subscribers have paid their subscription money. Failure to file bars the company from borrowing, inviting subscriptions, or commencing business.
What is the statutory penalty for not filing INC-20A?
Under s.10A, the company is liable for a flat penalty of ₹50,000. Each director in default is liable for ₹1,000 per day from the first day after the 180-day deadline, subject to a maximum of ₹1,00,000 per director. The MCA portal also charges an additional fee when the form is filed late.
How is the 180-day deadline counted?
The 180 days run from the date of incorporation as shown in the Certificate of Incorporation. Filing by day 180 avoids any penalty. Filing from day 181 onwards attracts the statutory penalty and the MCA portal additional fee.
Is this calculator an official MCA tool?
No. The calculator uses the statutory formula from Companies Act 2013 s.10A and the MCA portal fee schedule (Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014). The figures are estimates — actual penalty amounts are determined by the ROC or NCLT. Consult a CA or CS before acting on this output.
