Registrar of Companies (ROC), Delhi & Haryana, issued an order against Ecospace Commodities Trade Private Limited for violating Section 12(1) of the Companies Act, 2013.

The company failed to maintain a registered office capable of receiving communications. This action was initiated following directions from the Regional Director (RD), after earlier notices were returned unserved, indicating the company was not maintaining its registered office.

Show-cause notices (SCNs) were issued to the company and its directors. While one director received a notice, the company did not respond. Ecospace Commodities Trade Private Limited is classified as a small company, resulting in a reduced penalty. The company and its directors, Chandra Devi Biyala, Anil Kumar Bagri, and Jay Prakash Mukhiya, are required to pay the reduced penalty within 90 days. The order also directs the company to rectify the default by establishing a functional registered office and to file the relevant e-form.

The process for appealing the order to the Regional Director is detailed. Government of India Ministry of Corporate Affairs Office of Registrar of Companies, Order No. ROC/DEL/ADJ/ECTPL/2025/6087 Date: 16/04/2025
