Chapter 5 Charges

Charge

  • A charge is a security given for securing loans or debentures by way of a mortgage on the assets of the company. As mentioned earlier, the power of the company to borrow includes the power to give security also.
  • A charge may be created either through the act of parties or by operation of law.
  • A charge created by operation of law does not require registration. But a charge croated by act of parties requires registration.
  • The charge may be in perpetuity.
  • A charge only gives a right to receive payment out of a particular property.
  • A charge is good against subsequent transferees with notice.
  • In case of charge, no personal liability is created. But where a charge is the result of a contract, there may be a personal remedy.
  • There is no such transfer of interest in the case of a charge.

Two Kinds of Charges

There are two kinds of charges, fixed or specific charge and floating charge.

Fixed Charge

A charge is called fixed or specific when it is created to cover assets which are ascertained and definite or are capable of being ascertained and defined, at the time of creating the charge e.g., land, building, or plant and machinery. A fixed charge, therefore, is a security in terms of certain specific property, and the company gives up its right to dispose off that property until the charge is satisfied.

Floating Charge

A floating charge, as a type of security, is peculiar to companies as borrowers. A floating charge is not attached to any definite property but covers property of a fluctuating type e.g., stock-in-trade and is thus necessarily equitable.

A floating charge is a charge on a class of assets present and future which in the ordinary course of business is changing from time to time and leaves the company free to deal with the property as it sees fit until the holders of charge take steps to enforce their security.

The company has a right to carry on its business with the help of assets over which a floating charge has been created till the happening of some event which determines this right. A floating charge crystallises and the security becomes fixed in the following cases:

  • when the company goes into liquidation;
  • when the company ceases to carry on its business;
  • when the creditors or the debenture holders take steps to enforce their security e.g. by appointing receiver to take possession of the property charged;
  • on the happening of the event specified in the deed.

Mortgage

  • A mortgage is the transfer of an interest in specific immoveable property for the purpose of securing the payment of money advanced or to be advanced by way of loan, an existing or future debt or the performance of an agreement which may give rise to pecuniary liability.
  • A mortgage is created by the act of the parties.
  • A mortgage requires registration under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882.
  • A mortgage is for a fixed term.
  • A mortgage is a transfer of an interest in specific immovable property.

Descriptive Questions

Question 1. What is meant by ‘floating charge’ and how it would be crystallised?

Answer:

Company Law Charges Floating Charge

Question 2. Explain clearly the meaning of the terms ‘fixed charge’ and ‘floating charge’. State the circumstances under which a ‘floating charge’ automatically becomes ‘fixed’.

Answer:

Company Law Charges Fixed Specific Charge

Question 3. Explain whether a Floating charge attached to the company’s property generally remains dormant till it crystallizes or becomes fixed.

Answer:

A floating charge attached to the company’s property generally remains dormant till it crystallizes or becomes fixed. The company has a right to carry on its business with the help of assets over which a floating charge has been created till the happening of some event which determines this right.

Crystallization is the process by which a floating charge converts into a fixed charge. A floating charge crystallises and the security becomes fixed in the following cases:

  • when the company goes into liquidation;
  • when the company ceases to carry on its business;
  • when the creditors or the debenture holders take steps to enforce their security e.g. by appointing receiver to take possession of the property charged;
  • on the happening of the event specified in the deed.

In the aforesaid circumstances, the floating charge is said to become. fixed or to have been crystallised. Until the charge crystallises or attaches or becomes fixed, the company can deal with the property so charged in any manner it likes. Once crystallized, the security cannot be sold, and the lender may take possession of it.

Question 4. Comment on the following:

An unregistered charge shall be void against the liquidator and other creditors of the company.

Answer:

  • Under Section 77 of the Companies Act, 2013, all types of charges created by a company are to be registered with the Registrar of Companies, where they are non-compliant and are not filed with the Registrar for registration, the charge shall be void as against the liquidator and any other creditor of the company.
  • In the case of ONGC Ltd v. Official Liquidators of Ambica Mills Co Ltd (2006), the ONGC had not been able to point out whether the so called charge, on the basis of which it was claiming preference as a secured creditor, was registered or not.
  • It was held that in the light of this failure, ONGC could not be treated as a secured creditor.
  • This does not, however, mean that the charge is altogether void and the debt is not recoverable. So long as the company does not go into liquidation, the charge is good and may be enforced.
  • Void against the liquidator means that the liquidator, on winding up of the company, can ignore the charge for the purpose of ascertaining the priority of payment and can treat the concerned creditor as an unsecured creditor. The property will be treated as free of charge i.e. the creditor cannot sell the property to recover its dues.
  • Void against any other creditors of the company means that if any subsequent charge is created on the same property and the earlier charge is not registered, the earlier charge would have no consequence and the latter charge if registered would enjoy priority over the earlier charge.
  • Hence, non-filing of particulars of a charge as required under Section 77 of the Companies Act, 2013 does not invalidate the charge against the company as a going concern.
  • It is void only against the liquidator and the creditors at the time of liquidation. The company itself cannot have a cause of action arising out of non-registration.

Question 5. Comment on the following:

An encumbrance may be created by a charge, pledge or a mortgage.

Answer:

An encumbrance means a restriction imposed on the owner’s right over his property. All the three words (charge, mortgage and pledge) used above impose a restriction on the right of the owner over his own property.

  • Charge: As per Clause 16 of Section 2 of the Companies Act, 2013, charge means an interest or lien created on the property or assets of a company or any of its undertakings or both as security and includes a mortgage.
    • A charge is called fixed or specific when it is created to cover assets which are ascertained and definite or are capable of being ascertained and defined, at the time of creating the charge whereas a floating charge is not attached to any definite property but covers property of a fluctuating type such as stock in trade.
    • On the contrary, in case of a fixed or a floating charge the possession of the assets remains with the borrower. The ownership of the property also remains with the borrower.
    • In case of fixed charge he has no right to sell or transfer the asset except with the consent of the charge holder.
    • In case of a floating charge the borrower can treat his floating assets as if they have not been charged.
    • He loses this right only when he commits a default and the charge holder decides to take action for recovery of the money due. In the above case we say the floating charge crystallizes.
  • Mortgage: A mortgage is the transfer of an interest in specific immoveable property for the purpose of securing the payment of money advanced or to be advanced by way of loan, an existing or future debt or performance of an agreement which may give rise to pecuniary liability.
  • Pledge: In a pledge the borrower loses possession of the goods pledged as a security for repayment of a debt or performance of an obligation. The pledgor remains the owner of the property. He is entitled to get back
    • Although, in all these cases if the borrower commits a default in payment of the principal and interest thereof the lender gets a right to sell the property and recover the amount due to him.
    • Hence, an encumbrance may be created by a charge, pledge or a mortgage.

Question 6. As a Company Secretary, explain the procedure of satisfaction of charge.

Answer:

  • Under Section 82 of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 8 of the Companies (Registration of Charges) Rules, 2014, the company shall give intimation to the ROC of the payment or satisfaction in full of any charge within a period of 30 days from the date of such payment or satisfaction in Form No.CHG-4 along with the prescribed fees.
  • The Registrar may, on an application by the company or the charge holder, allow such intimation of payment or satisfaction to be made within a period of three hundred days of such payment or satisfaction on payment of such additional fees as specified.

Question 2. What is the difference between Charge and Pledge?

Answer:

According to the generally accepted definition, a ‘pledge’ is a bailment of personal property as security for some debt or engagement, redeemable on certain terms, and with an implied power of sale on default. It consists of a delivery of goods by a debtor to his creditor as security for a debt or other obligation, to be held until the debt is repaid along with interest or other obligation of the debtor is discharged, and then to be delivered back to the pledger, the title not being changed during the continuance of the pledge.

Unlike a pledge, a ‘charge’ is not a transfer of property of one to another. It is a right created in favour of one, referred to as “the lender” in the immovable property of another, referred to as “the borrower”, as security for repayment of the loan and payment of interest on the terms and conditions contained in the loan documents evidencing charge.

Both a pledge and a charge are the result of voluntary act of parties. Both create security but the nature of the security is different. -Space to write important points for revision-
