MCA has amended the Companies (Adjudication of Penalties) Rules, 2014, by inserting a new rule 3A, “Adjudication Platform.” Now, all proceedings (including issuing notices, filing replies or documents, presenting evidence, holding hearings, attending witnesses, passing orders, and paying penalties) of the adjudicating officer and Regional Director under these rules shall be conducted electronically through the e-adjudication platform developed by the Central Government.
