Charge is required to be created ,if Indian company has provided any asset in form of guarantee, whether situated in India or out of India, just promising for loan taken by WOS is contingent in nature for which no assets as security is committed by Indian holding company ...but in practice banks/FI required it and you can't do nothing than registering charge u/s77 ,even if it's a personal guarantee of promoter you have to register it...

Thanks . You are right . Primarily charge under act was to be created on immovable property and moveable assets can be hypothecated under lock and key of lender. and there was seperate proceedures to deal with goods hypothecated. but now act drafted has wording which many time is misinterpreted. No charge can be created on guarantee.
