What Is Charge Modification?
A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.
Charge modification is the ROC filing you make when the terms of a charge you already registered — such as the loan amount, interest rate, repayment terms or the property charged — are changed.
Under Section 79 of the Companies Act, 2013, the provisions on registration of a charge apply equally to a modification in the terms, conditions or extent of a charge already registered. The company must register the modification with the Registrar within the prescribed period.
Administered by the Registrar of Companies (ROC) under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), through the MCA portal using Form CHG-1 (or CHG-9 for debentures).
Once registered, the modification is recorded against the company and the ROC issues a certificate of modification of charge (Form CHG-2). The charge continues on its modified terms until it is satisfied and CHG-4 is filed.

Talk to an Expert →Why File a Charge Modification?
Registering a change to an existing charge on time keeps your MCA records accurate and protects the lender’s priority. Here is why it matters.
-
01
Statutory Requirement
Section 79 of the Companies Act, 2013 requires any modification in the terms of a registered charge to be filed with the ROC within 30 days of the change.
-
02
Avoid Delay & Condonation
Filing within the 30-day window avoids additional fees and the need to apply to the Central Government for condonation of delay under Section 87.
-
03
Lender Requirement
Banks and NBFCs usually insist that any change to the loan amount, rate or security is reflected as a registered charge modification with the ROC.
-
04
Protect Charge Priority
An accurately registered charge preserves the lender’s priority and the enforceability of its security interest against the company.
-
05
Accurate MCA Records
The register of charges and MCA master data must reflect the correct amount, rate and security — otherwise later financing and due diligence get flagged.
-
06
Smooth Due Diligence
Investors, auditors and future lenders review the register of charges — a clean, up-to-date record avoids questions during funding or audit.
