the company within 14 days of incorporation of a company or any changes thereof. The

Form A:
An annual return is a snapshot of general information about a company giving details of its chief
executive, directors, chief accountant, secretary, legal adviser and auditors, registered office address,
shareholders and share capital. It is for a company having share capital. This form is submitted each year
to reflect a companys correct and updated position. If you file this form late or not at all, the company
and its director(s) and secretary can be prosecuted under the Ordinance. Please note annual returns are
different from annual accounts

under section-42, giving details of its directors, chief executive, chief accountant, secretary, legal adviser
and auditors, registered office address, shareholders and share capital. This form is submitted each year

you file this form late or not at all, the association and its director(s) and secretary can be prosecuted

Form 21:
Every company must have a registered office because it is the 'home' of the company to which all official
documents, notices and court papers have to be sent by law. The address must be a physical location and
not a post office box. This is because people have a right to visit a companys office to inspect certain
registers and documents, and to deliver documents by hand. It is vital for a company to keep SEC
informed of the location of its registered office for future communications. Form-21 is filed if there is a
change in the companys registered office. A company can change its registered office address by filing a
notice for change on Form 21 with the Registrar within 28 days of such change. This change only becomes
legally effective when the Registrar registers the form.
Form 3:
This form is filed if there is a change in the companys capital structure, or there has been an allotment of
shares. This form should be sent to Registrar within 30 days of the shares being allotted. This change only
becomes legally effective when the Registrar registers the form.
Form 7:
This form is filed if there is a change in the companys authorized capital and nominal capital. Form-7
should be sent to the Registrar within 30 days of the change. The change only becomes legally effective
when the form is registered.
