What is MGT-14?

Form MGT-14 is the statutory e-Form prescribed under Section 117(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 and Rule 24 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014. It serves as the official mechanism for companies to register specified resolutions and agreements with the Registrar of Companies (ROC).

Under Section 117(3), Form MGT-14 must be filed for:

  1. Special Resolutions: Every special resolution passed by members in an AGM, EGM, or through Postal Ballot under Section 110.
  2. Managing Director Agreements: Board resolutions or contracts regarding the appointment, re-appointment, or variation of terms of a Managing Director or Whole-time Director under Section 117(3)(c).
  3. Borrowing & Financial Powers: Resolutions passed under Section 180(1)(a) and Section 180(1)(c) by public companies consenting to borrowings beyond capital and reserves.
  4. Powers of Board (Section 179(3)): Board resolutions for borrowing, investing, or granting loans (applicable strictly to Public Companies; Private Companies are exempt).
  5. Voluntary Liquidation: Resolutions passed for voluntary winding up under Section 59 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

Who Must File MGT-14?

Every company registered under the Companies Act, 2013 that passes a resolution or enters into an agreement falling within the purview of Section 117(3) must file Form MGT-14. This includes:

  • Public Limited Companies (Listed & Unlisted): Must file for all special resolutions and routine Section 179(3) board resolutions.
  • Private Limited Companies: Must file for all special resolutions, MD/WTD agreements, and Section 186(3) inter-corporate investment resolutions. Exempt from routine Section 179(3) board resolutions per Notification G.S.R. 464(E).
  • One Person Companies (OPCs) & Small Companies: When passing relevant special resolutions.
  • Section 8 Companies & Producer Companies: Upon passing qualifying resolutions.

MGT-14 Due Date & Timeline

Statutory 30-Day and 60-Day Filing Windows

Pursuant to Section 117(1), Form MGT-14 must be filed with the Registrar within:

  • Standard Companies: Strictly within 30 calendar days from the date of passing of the resolution or entering into the agreement.
  • IFSC Companies: Within 60 calendar days pursuant to MCA Notifications G.S.R. 8(E) and G.S.R. 9(E) dated 4th January 2017.

The filing clock starts on the calendar date following the date of the meeting. Filing on or after Day 31 (or Day 61 for IFSC) automatically triggers Table B additional fees.

Consequences of Late Filing MGT-14

Dual Consequences of Belated Filing

A delayed Form MGT-14 triggers two distinct financial and legal liabilities:

1. MCA V3 Table B Additional Fees

Escalating multipliers on the Table A base fee: Up to 30 days: 2×; 31 to 60 days: 4×; 61 to 90 days: 6×; 91 to 180 days: 10×; beyond 180 days: 12× normal fee. For filings delayed beyond 300 days, Central Government condonation under Section 460(b) in Form CG-1 is mandatory before filing.

2. Section 117(2) Civil Penalties

ROC adjudication penalties under Section 454: The company is liable to ₹10,000 + ₹100/day (max ₹2,00,000); every officer in default is liable to ₹10,000 + ₹100/day (max ₹50,000). Eligible Small Companies and Startups receive Section 446B relief (50% reduced penalty).

  • Total Estimated Financial Exposure: ₹36,900

Scenario 2: Small Company under Section 446B (45 Days Delayed)

A Small Company with ₹25 Lakhs capital files MGT-14 with 45 days delay (4× multiplier):

  • Normal Fee (Table A): ₹500
  • Additional Late Fee (4×): ₹2,000
  • Total MCA Portal Challan: ₹2,500
  • Unreduced Penalty: ₹10,000 + 44 × ₹100 = ₹14,400 per person
  • Section 446B Relief (50% discount): Company Penalty = ₹7,200; Officer Penalty = ₹7,200 each
  • Section 446B Savings: ₹14,400

For IFSC Private and Public Companies, the statutory window is extended to 60 calendar days pursuant to MCA Notifications G.S.R. 8(E) and 9(E) dated 4th January 2017.

How are Table B additional late filing fees calculated for Form MGT-14?

Under Table B of the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014, delay beyond the 30-day (or 60-day for IFSC) deadline attracts escalating multipliers on the normal base fee: (1) Up to 30 days delay: 2× normal fee (Total Challan = 3×); (2) 31 to 60 days delay: 4× normal fee (Total Challan = 5×); (3) 61 to 90 days delay: 6× normal fee (Total Challan = 7×); (4) 91 to 180 days delay: 10× normal fee (Total Challan = 11×); (5) More than 180 days delay: 12× normal fee (Total Challan = 13×).

What happens if Form MGT-14 is delayed beyond 300 days on MCA V3?

Under the official MCA Form MGT-14 Instruction Kit and Section 460(b), where the event date is not within 300 days of the filing date, direct e-filing on the MCA portal is blocked. The company must first apply to the Central Government / Regional Director for Condonation of Delay via Form CG-1, obtain a formal condonation order, file the order with the ROC in Form INC-28, and cite the approved INC-28 SRN in Form MGT-14.

Are Private Limited Companies required to file Form MGT-14 for Section 179(3) Board Resolutions?

NO! Under MCA Exemption Notification No. G.S.R. 464(E) dated 5th June 2015, clause (g) of sub-section (3) of Section 117 does not apply to Private Limited Companies. Therefore, private companies are exempt from filing MGT-14 for routine Section 179(3) Board Resolutions (such as borrowing money, granting loans, investing funds, approving financial statements, or making calls on shares). Only Public Limited Companies must file MGT-14 for Section 179(3) powers.

What is the statutory penalty under Section 117(2) for failure to file MGT-14?

Under Section 117(2) of the Companies Act, 2013, default triggers civil adjudication penalties: The Company is liable to a penalty of ₹10,000 plus ₹100 for each day of continuing failure after the first day, capped at ₹2,00,000. Every Officer in Default (including liquidator if any) is liable to ₹10,000 plus ₹100 per day of continuing failure, capped at ₹50,000 per officer. This is independent of the MCA portal filing fee and is adjudicated by the ROC under Section 454.

Does Section 446B relief apply to Section 117(2) penalties for Small Companies and Startups?

Yes! Under Section 446B, eligible Small Companies (Section 2(85)), One Person Companies (OPC), Producer Companies, and DPIIT-recognized Startups pay reduced adjudication penalties: not more than one-half (50%) of the penalty specified in Section 117(2), subject to a maximum company ceiling of ₹1,00,000 and officer ceiling of ₹25,000. Note: Section 446B relief applies only to ROC statutory adjudication penalties and does NOT reduce MCA portal filing fees.

Can multiple resolutions passed on different dates be filed in a single Form MGT-14?

Under the MCA MGT-14 Instruction Kit, multiple resolutions can be filed in a single form only if all event dates fall within the permissible filing window. If resolutions were passed on dates spanning outside the window, separate MGT-14 filings are mandatory for each distinct resolution date.

Statutory Disclaimer: Fees and late filing multipliers are estimated based on published schedules under the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014 and Companies Act, 2013. Always verify final challan values on MCA21 portal before filing.
