 WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OLD MGT-14 vs NEW MGT-14 — WITH EFFECT FROM  1 October 2026?

WHY YOU CANNOT SEE THE NOTIFICATION ABOUT NEW MGT-14 FORM IN THE MCA WEBSITE

 MCA website confirms MGT-14 is a V3 web-form, but one could not locate it  an official MCA notification/instruction kit publicly indexed yet. You have to login to access the new form.

THE BIGGEST PRACTICAL CHANGE

The revised form appears designed to make the resolution itself traceable:

Resolution → Legal provision → Purpose → Meeting → Resolution particulars → supporting document

This is significant for Company Secretaries because MGT-14 is no longer merely a form-filling exercise. The information entered into the form needs to correspond precisely with the notice, agenda, explanatory statement, minutes and certified true copy of the resolution.
