Statutory registers

Exactly statutory registeres may be prepared in soft copy. However, it is suggested to authenticate the same by getting it signed by time to time and keep such copies on record as well.

Hi,

As per Secretarial Standards 4 on Registers and records issued by ICSI

“Maintenance” means keeping registers and records, either physically or in electronic mode as may be permitted under any law for the time being in force and includes the making of appropriate entries therein, the authentication of such entries and the preservation of such registers and records.

Hence, statutory registers can be maintained in electronic form also.

Dear Vaibhav,

These Registers can be maintained in soft form but have to be digitally signed.

Regards,

Aditya
