What INC-28 is used for
INC-28 is the ROC filing used for specified orders passed by a court, NCLT or another competent authority. The filing records the order against the company’s MCA master data and should match the exact authority, date, order number and statutory purpose.
What to check before filing
- Identify the authority and the exact order being filed.
- Check whether the selected MCA purpose matches the order.
- Keep the authenticated order and related corporate records ready.
- Confirm the applicable time limit and additional-fee consequences.
Common mistakes
Using the wrong filing purpose, mismatching order dates/numbers, or uploading an incomplete order can cause defects. Where the filing is delayed, assess whether an appropriate procedural remedy or another procedural step is required.
Practical preparation workflow
- Confirm that INC-28 – Filing Court, NCLT or Authority Orders with ROC is the correct filing, statement, application or compliance route for the entity and the relevant period.
- Reconcile the underlying books, registers, declarations, challans, approvals or source records before entering data into the portal.
- Check names, registration numbers, dates, reporting period and attachments against the master records. Avoid copying an older filing without checking whether the facts or portal fields have changed.
- Preview the completed filing before submission and retain the acknowledgement, payment/challan record and a complete copy of what was filed.
Records to reconcile
The exact attachment requirement depends on the facts and the current portal. As a working file, keep the following records together and reconcile them before submission:
- Certified / authenticated copy of the relevant order
- CIN and company master details
- Order date and authority details
- Board / professional records relevant to the order
- Supporting attachments required for the selected filing purpose
Review after filing
A successful upload does not by itself prove that every underlying compliance requirement has been satisfied. Preserve the acknowledgement and filing copy, update the organisation's compliance calendar or statutory records where relevant, and watch the portal/email for any defect, clarification, notice or status change. If a correction is required, use the current correction, amendment or reply mechanism rather than altering supporting records merely to match an earlier filing.
Current-source check
Portal fields, filing frequency, fees, due dates and administrative practice can change. Before acting, re-check the live guidance of Ministry of Corporate Affairs for the exact period and facts. This guide is designed to help organise the records and understand the filing context; it does not replace the live statutory form, portal instructions or case-specific professional review.
