MCA eyes revamp of compliance regime
🍥A mobile app for corporate filings*, pre-filled forms and fewer compliances — after an exercise to cut down on the number of criminal offences under company laws, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs is proposing a complete revamp of the compliance system for corporates to ease doing business for them.
▶️ A senior government official told ET that the new system with these features would be rolled out from October. 
🪃It will significantly bring down compliance requirements for companies and will be a "more trust-based system", the official added.
🪁The proposed system would be able to alert companies of any errors in filings and also be able to profile a company and assess its risk of defaulting. 
🎛️The ministry has been conducting a study to explore ways to rationalise the number of compliance forms. Based on its findings, changes would be incorporated in the October rollout.

♦️The new MCA21 V3 platform that replaces MCA21 V2 will be deployed in two phases
🌟A revamped website with features including e-consultation and e-books will be launched during April-May, while more comprehensive features like pre-filled web-based forms and the mobile app will be rolled out by October, the official said.
✒️“Major things like the company module, LLP (limited liability partnership) module, enforcement module, compliance management system, everything will come online in October,” another official said.
🎟️While certain fields such as the balance sheet and profit and loss account figures will have to be manually filled in, most forms on the portal will be converted into pre-filled web forms from the current PDF versions, which is expected to bring down the time and resources spent on compliance.
▶️ The update will signal a shift to a more trust-based regime by doing away with attachments of various reports for verification, albeit with adequate checks.
🔰The mobile app would come with features like e-consultation allowing users to provide feedback on draft bills directly online, an e-book for instant reference and sharing of all Acts and rules relating to company affairs and access to the registry of master data, the officials said.
🖋️Most of the front-facing features of the website would be incorporated in the app, but these would include only simpler forms since placing digital signature certificates via mobile would be difficult, the first official said.
🚄This would be further aided by the recently *amended disclosure rules under Schedule III of the Companies Act, which require firms to disclose debt ageing

Market Outlook

In yesterday's session after opening with a positive note and gained  135 points in early session and touched the level of 14445.

After touching the level of 14445 market have a dip and took support above 14264 which was the intraday low of 25- Mar-21.

After taking support at 14264 nifty saw a strong recovery in the second half and gained more than 200 points on intraday basis and closed above 14500.

But, Nifty is still below its 30 days moving average of 14806 which will act as a  resistance.

One thing which is clear from the yesterday's session is that 14264 will act as a short term support for Nifty. 

There was a broader participation in the recovery. Which make our Conviction stronger that this year is going to be the year of Small Cap companies. 

We will see lot of small cap companies turning out to be Multibagger in this year.

So, we advice to search out for the fundamentally strong small cap companies and allocate Upto 30-40 percent to small and Midcap companies  for getting handsome return.
