What is a Charge Creation / Modification in India?
Charge Creation and Charge Modification are mandatory compliances under the Companies Act, 2013, requiring companies to register details of any charge (loan, mortgage, hypothecation, or security interest) created or modified on their assets with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
A charge represents the right of a lender over the company’s assets as security for loans or financial facilities.
