Guidance Note on Certification of Documents for Registration of Charges
The Department of Company Affairs had directed the appropriate authorities to take the documents relating to registration of a charge, on record, if such documents were duly certified as correct, among other, by a chartered accountant in practice. This, in retrospect reflected the growing faith in the competence of members of our profession. Since the procedure for registration of charges involved a number of documents, the Institute issued this Guidance Note with a view to provide guidance to the members, who may be called upon to certify the relevant documents.
    The following bullet points would give a brief idea as to the areas touched upon by the Guidance Note:
  • Provisions of law
  • Forms and documents
  • Verification of forms
  • Format of certificate
The Guidance Note also contains the Form No. 8, 13, 17 and 21 as also the certificate to be issued by a chartered accountant regarding verification of various forms relevant for registration of charges.
Issued in January 12, 1194.
Published in the Handbook of Auditing Pronouncements, Vol. II (Edn. 2005).
Also available as a separate publication of the Institute (price: Rs. 15/-).
