WHAT IS GEO-TAGGING?

Hence, Geotagging has a process of tagging of Registered office by mentioning its specific geographical identification, including its latitude and longitude, on the portal where it has registered.

Hence, The intent of such geotagging is to bring in transparency in the system by providing an ocular portrayal of assets on top of the map or satellite visual. In doing so, the assets have better monitored, and leakages can be plugged.

Additionally, this helps in creating an online database for the government, which may, in turn, help the public obtain relevant information online. Therefore, Geo-tagging means providing data on the exact location of the office. Hence, The purpose seems to detect too many companies operating from a single location

Therefore, Geo-tagging of registered offices will be done at the time of  statutory filings with the Registrar of Companies (RoC)

Therefore, The government has weighed the option of ‘defining’ dubious companies in order that thorough investigations has not obstructed and prosecution can withstand legal challenges.
