Under the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”), all companies are mandated to maintain various statutory registers as per the provisions of the Act and the rules framed thereunder. Importantly, Section 120 of the Act, read with Rule 27 of the Companies (Management & Administration) Rules, 2014, permits the maintenance of such registers in electronic form. Further, Rule 28 lays down how companies should secure and manage electronic records. Enabled by statutory provisions and the imperative for streamlined compliance, electronic record-keeping has become the modern standard. It offers companies a convenient, secure, and efficient way to store, update, authenticate, and retrieve statutory records—transforming compliance from a tedious obligation into a streamlined process. BLISS, the secretarial automation software by CimplyFive, a Clear Company, is built to meet these statutory requirements. It empowers corporate secretarial teams to digitize and automate the creation and maintenance of statutory registers—reducing manual effort and ensuring timely compliance.
