Dear Members,

As per the definition of "foreign company" under companies act, 2013. Liaison office will be considered as foreign company.

Please guide me on below clarifications on e-form FC-4: (PTII under old act)

Annual return of Foreign Company is applicable for Liaison office in india....?

If yes, liaison office will not be holding any shares and constitution of board.

what's the use of filing this e-form-FC-4 with the ROC by stating nil in all the column...? 

And one more doubt is, the attachments of this forms ask for Directors, KMP, Promoters, remuneration and Meeting details and all as this thing is not applicable for Liaison office, in that case how to state this information...??

I had same query and couldn't found proper answer. Today I went to Delhi Roc where  asstt. Roc told me that this form shall be filed for parent company and all information shall be filled for parent company only. I m again not satisfied with his reply.

right. its really confusing. lots of companies are not filing this form. but as per new act its compulsory for foreign company. Time limit also 60 days from end of financial year. Now additional fees coming  10 times due to delay of more than 90 days. I have sent all the requirements which is mentioned in the form to the parent company but they are not comfortable with this.

Right. In old act also thier is form for the same, but no one complied. This may raised issue at the time of closure of such offices in India.

 I have raised query regarding this, lets see what they will reply.

Nareshji, kindly update once u will get reply from anyone.

Dear Friends,

One more point. The fee calculator for FC-2,FC-3 are not proper. Maximum fees for FC-3 as per calculator is 1,00,000 whereas while filings it takes 1,56,000....!!!

With regard to filing fees for FC-3

Please refer. Table of fees V. Fees as per section 385 is Rs. 6,000/-

There is seperate fees for
1. List of places of business
2. Accounts for every calendar year as per section 381(1)
within six months from the closure (refer rule 4(3) of regn of foreing companies rules.

Even if you are having two places, you need to pay Rs. 24,000/- normal fees.( Rs. 12,000 + Rs. 12,000/-)
