<h1>Proposed Changes to Companies Rules 2014: Maintain Dormant Company Filings, Simplify Delay Applications, Clarify Notification Dates.</h1> Proposed amendments to the Companies (Miscellaneous) Rules, 2014, include maintaining the requirement for dormant companies to file an annual Return of Dormant Company in Form MSC-3, as it minimally updates the company's status. The Committee also recommended creating a single pro-forma application form for condoning delays under Section 460 to enhance business ease. Additionally, the Committee suggested ensuring clarity on the effective date of notifications issued under the Companies Act, 2013, by specifying the date of enforcement in each notification, wherever feasible, to avoid ambiguity.
