Beyond the core statutory registers, the Companies Act, 2013 requires companies to maintain several additional registers depending on their transactions — duplicate certificates, inter-corporate loans and investments, related-party contracts, and debenture-holders. This free Excel workbook bundles all four into one file; enter your company details once on the cover sheet and they flow into every register.

Frequently asked questions
Are these registers mandatory for a private company?
Yes, where applicable. Form MBP-2 (loans, guarantee, security and acquisition under Section 186) and Form MBP-4 (contracts in which directors are interested under Section 189) must be maintained by every company that has such transactions; Form SH-2 is required whenever a renewed or duplicate certificate is issued; and Form MGT-2 is required for every company that issues debentures or other securities.
When must entries be made in the MBP-2 register?
Entries in the Register of Loans, Guarantee, Security and Acquisition (Form MBP-2) must be made chronologically within seven days of making the loan, giving the guarantee, providing the security or making the acquisition, and the register is preserved permanently at the registered office.
These add to the core statutory registers, right?
Yes. They complement the core set — Register of Members (MGT-1), Share Transfers, Directors & KMP, Charges (CHG-7) and Allotment — available in our main statutory-registers workbook.
