Arms of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) have intensified enforcement actions in recent quarters to ensure stricter adherence to rules, even as the government has lessened the compliance burden on India Inc. In the June quarter, various Registrars of Companies (RoCs) issued a total of 321 orders against firms for alleged lapses under the Companies Act. This figure represents about a fourth higher than the previous quarter, which also saw increased action, according to an analysis of public orders.
