Mallah Software Services Private Limited has not independently verified this against the gazette. The citation above is the instrument this date is taken from, and it is exact enough for a professional to check. Inside Lawzer a company secretary or chartered accountant can record that they have checked it, against the rule as it read on the day — and that record is withdrawn automatically if the rule later changes. A date nobody has checked says so.
Who has to file it
Every one of these has to hold before MGT-7A binds an entity:
- One Person Company and Private Limited Company
- a One Person Company or small company
A small company is a private company with paid-up capital of ₹10 crore or less and turnover of ₹100 crore or less, that is neither a holding nor a subsidiary company (s.2(85), Companies Act 2013 r/w rule 2(1)(t), Companies (Specification of Definitions Details) Rules 2014, as substituted by G.S.R. 880(E) of 1 December 2025). A company governed by a special Act is not a small company either, and that is not detected from the profile.
