What is a Charge Under the Companies Act?
A charge is a security interest created by a company on its assets — movable or immovable — in favour of a lender (bank, financial institution, or any creditor) against a loan, debenture, or any other financial obligation. Under Sections 77 to 87 of the Companies Act, 2013, every charge created by a company must be registered with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) within the prescribed time.
An unregistered charge is void against any liquidator and any creditor of the company — meaning the lender cannot enforce the security if the charge is not registered. This makes charge registration critical for both the company and the lender. TaxClue handles all CHG form filings on MCA V3 portal on behalf of companies and charge holders.
Both the Company and the Charge Holder Can File
CHG forms can be filed either by the company or by the charge holder (lender). If the company fails to file within 30 days of creation, the charge holder (bank/NBFC) may file the charge independently. Both parties have the right to file — but both are equally responsible for ensuring registration is done on time.
All Five CHG Forms at a Glance
CHG-1 — Creation / Modification
New charge or modification. 30 days (extendable to 300). Company or charge holder files.
CHG-4 — Satisfaction
Loan repaid, charge released by lender. 30 days from satisfaction date. Removes charge from MCA.
CHG-6 — Receiver / Manager
Appointment or cessation of receiver. 30 days. Filed by person making the appointment.
CHG-8 — Condonation of Delay
After 300-day window. NCLT/RD petition required. Company or charge holder files.
CHG-9 — Debenture Charge
Registration of charge for debentures, bonds. 30 days (extendable to 300). Company or debenture trustee.
Unregistered = Void
Unregistered charge is void against liquidator and creditors. Lender loses security priority.
How TaxClue Files CHG Forms
Identify the Right CHG Form
Share your situation with TaxClue — new loan taken, loan repaid, modification to existing charge, or receiver appointed. Our CA confirms whether it's CHG-1, CHG-4, CHG-6, CHG-8, or CHG-9 — and whether the filing is within the normal window or the extended 300-day window.
Collect Charge Documents & Instrument
Upload the loan agreement / sanction letter / charge instrument, lender's NOC (for CHG-4), debenture trust deed (for CHG-9), or appointment deed (for CHG-6) via WhatsApp or email. TaxClue verifies all documents within 2 hours.
Compute Fee & Prepare Filing
For CHG-1/CHG-4/CHG-9, the government fee is calculated on the charge amount (ad valorem). For late filings, the additional ₹500/day penalty is calculated from the creation date. TaxClue provides a complete fee breakup before filing.
Digital Signature & MCA V3 Filing
All charge forms require DSC of the company's authorised signatory (director or company secretary). CHG-4 additionally requires the charge holder's (lender's) verification. TaxClue co-ordinates DSC signing and files on MCA V3 portal.
SRN Tracking & Acknowledgement
Upon successful submission, MCA generates a Service Request Number (SRN). TaxClue tracks the SRN until the charge is officially registered and the Charge ID is assigned in MCA master data.
Share Certificate of Charge Registration
Once MCA registers the charge, a Certificate of Registration of Charge (for CHG-1/CHG-9) or Certificate of Registration of Satisfaction of Charge (for CHG-4) is issued. TaxClue delivers this certificate and updates you on the Charge ID.
