  21. Introduction to e-Government Procurement Benefits from e-Procurement

  22. MCA21 MCA21 is one of the Central Mission Mode Projects, designed for electronic service delivery by the Ministry of Company Affairs (MCA) The project involved large scale Government Process Re-engineering and IT enablement of processes The Legal framework governing the regulation of corporate sector in India (companies registration, compliance filing etc) was amended to give sufficient legal backing to the e-Governance initiative As on date, all company registrations and compliance filings are mandated to be filed online

  23. MCA21 – Background Ministry of Company Affairs’ primary function is the administration of Companies Act, 1956, other allied Acts and rules & regulations framed there-under The following services were proposed to be made online through the MCA21 project: Registration and incorporation of new companies  Filing of Annual Returns and Balance Sheets  Filing of forms for change of names/address/Director’s details  Registration and verification of charges Inspection of documents  Applications for various statutory services from MCA  Investor grievance redressal 

  24. Situation before MCA21 • Company incorporation and compliance filing was done manually at Registrar of Companies (RoC) offices in States and Union Territories • Each RoC also acted as the registry of records relating to the companies registered with them, which are made available for inspection by members of public on payment of prescribed fee • Company data in silos in RoC offices in paper form • Time consuming process for filing and inspection • Lack of transparency and reduced service levels • Investor grievances given low priority • Difficulty in doing any quantitative analysis of corporate information

  25. MCA21 Benefits • Key Benefits • Anytime / anywhere service to corporate • Corporate centric approach • Increased transparency • Enhanced service levels • MCA employees and devote more time to doing value added tasks including data analysis • Timely grievance redressal • After MCA21 rollout • Online registration and incorporation of companies • Simplified and easy mode of filing of e-forms / returns • Online registration and verification of changes • Centralized Data repository and online inspection of documents by public

  26. MCA21 eServices Status

  27. Snapshot of MCA21 implementation (1/3) • MCA21 portal as the single window for filing of information online • Facilitation centres set up at select location to ease transition from manual to e-filing Front Office Facilitation centres e-Filing • Automation of processing at RoC offices • Centralised Repository of Company Information Back Office • Processing of filings and Internal functions of MCA computerized • Old records at each RoC digitized and made available online

  28. Snapshot of MCA21 implementation (2/3) Source: MCA21 Process Handbook, Ministry of Company Affairs

  29. Snapshot of MCA21 implementation (3/3) • e-filing made mandatory, with Digital Signature Certificates • All payments to be made through e-Payments (Online banking / credit cards / payment at designated bank branches) • e-Stamping mandated wherever stamp duty is to be paid • Unique Company Identification Numbers (CIN) assigned to each registered company • Directors of Companies to obtain Director Identification Number (DIN) • Facilitation counters gradually being phased out in favour of filing at customer’s premises

  30. Legal Framework for the MCA21 project • The processes of Company Registration and Compliance filing were based on the Companies Act, 1956 (and the Rules made there-under) and the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1969 • The other relevant Acts included: • The Competition Act, 2002  • The Chartered Accountants Act, 1949  • The Costs and Works Accounts Act, 1959  • The Company Secretaries Act, 1980  • The Partnership Act, 1932  • The Societies Registration Act, 1860  • The Companies (Donation to National Fund) Act, 1951 

  31. Why do we need legal amendments? Does the electronic records have the same validity as the paper records The following questions arise… How do I make it legally mandatory to file company information online? The Companies Act does not talk about CIN / DIN.. What if a company goes to court insisting on its right to file returns in paper form?

  32. Providing Legal Framework for the MCA21 project • Some of these legal questions are answered by IT Act: • Digital Signature signing and submission of e-forms • Equivalence of electronic and paper records… • But the domain legislation needs to be amended to reflect the new processes and procedures.. • Laws to be amended to incorporate enabling provisions, leaving procedural issues to be handled in subordinate legislation • Subordinate legislation to be amended, detailing the new process regime

  33. Amendment to Companies Act, 1956 • Amendments to mandate Director Identification Number: • Amendments to sections 253 & 266 A to 266F to mandate every Director to obtain a DIN. No Director to be re-appointed without obtaining a DIN • Insertion of provisions 610B to 610E to mandate electronic filing: • 610B: Filing of inspections, documents, applications etc through e-forms, as prescribed in the Rules • RoC to maintain such documents in electronic form • 610C: Powers to central government to modify Act in relation to electronic records (including manner and form of filing) • 610D: Provision for providing value added services • 610E: Provisions of IT Act to apply in items relating to electronic records Specifics of e-Filing, Payments, Inspection etc incorporated in Companies General Rules and Forms, 1956
