Nomenclature of various forms prescribed under the provisions of
Companies Act, 2013 being notified
In order to facilitate easy understanding of the e-forms being rolled out under the provisions of Companies Act, 2013 and Rules made thereunder, the stakeholders are hereby informed that unlike numbering of various forms under the Companies Act, 1956, forms under the new Act are mandatorily numbered alpha-numeric. Initial of forms is to be started with alphabet of two or three letters based on the subject of the Chapter, followed by serial number of the form. This will define the nature of the forms and would be easy to recognise.
