Stamp duty, registration and filing
Private companies are exempt from filing board resolutions passed under Section 179(3). Late filing attracts additional fees, and failure to file is a default for the company and its officers. A special resolution altering the articles takes effect only when it is filed. Check the current fees on mca.gov.in.
