CHG-6 is due within 30 days of the order appointing a receiver or manager, or of the making of the appointment under a power in an instrument. The duty sits on the person who obtained the order or made the appointment, not on the company, and he must notify both the company and the Registrar. Cessation is notified too, and section 84(2) sets no day count for that leg.
Deadlines counted from an event
Within 30 days of the passing of the order or the making of the appointment, under section 84(1), filed in Form CHG-6 under rule 9 of the Charges Rules with a copy of the order or instrument.
On ceasing to hold the appointment, the person appointed must give notice to that effect to the company and to the Registrar, under section 84(2). The sub-section sets no day count, so the duty is stated as immediate rather than as a window.
The rule
Within 30 days of the passing of the order or the making of the appointment, under section 84(1), filed in Form CHG-6 under rule 9 of the Charges Rules with a copy of the order or instrument.
On ceasing to hold the appointment, the person appointed must give notice to that effect to the company and to the Registrar, under section 84(2). The sub-section sets no day count, so the duty is stated as immediate rather than as a window.
Who must comply
- Any person who obtains an order appointing a receiver of, or a person to manage, property of a company that is subject to a charge
- Any person who makes such an appointment under a power contained in an instrument
- The person appointed, who must notify the company and the Registrar when he ceases to hold the appointment
Statutory basis
Before you file
- Get the certified copy of the order of appointment, or the instrument under which the appointment was made.
- Give notice of the appointment to the company.
- Confirm the date the order was passed or the appointment was made. This date starts the 30-day window.

If you miss it
Section 86(1) sets one penalty for any default in Chapter VI, so a late CHG filing costs the same whichever form it was: ₹5 lakh on the company and ₹50,000 on every officer in default. It is a flat amount rather than a daily one, so it does not grow with the delay, but it also does not shrink for a filing that is one day late.
- Section 77(3) keeps an unregistered charge out of the liquidator's and any other creditor's reckoning, so the charge-holder's security fails at the moment it matters most
- Section 86(2) sends a person who wilfully files false or incorrect charge particulars, or suppresses material information, to section 447 fraud proceedings
Common questions
Is CHG-6 the company's filing?
No. Section 84(1) puts the duty on the person who obtained the order or made the appointment. He notifies the company as well as the Registrar, so the company usually learns of the filing rather than making it.
How long is there to report a cessation?
Section 84(2) sets no period. It requires the person appointed to give notice to the company and the Registrar on ceasing to hold the appointment, which is best read as immediately rather than within any window.
