## Appointment of Receiver or Manager – Section 84
### When Appointed?
A receiver or manager of the company's property may be appointed:
Pursuant to a court order, or
Pursuant to a power contained in an agreement (e.g., debenture trust deed, loan agreement).
### Notice Requirement
The person obtaining such order or making such appointment shall, within 30 days of the order/appointment, give notice of the fact to the company and the ROC in Form CHG-6.
Similarly, on ceasing to act as receiver or manager, notice must be given in Form CHG-6 to the company and ROC.
### Why it Matters
A receiver/manager takes over control of charged assets. Stakeholders (creditors, members, suppliers) need to know who is in possession and control, hence the public filing.
Worked example
### Example 1
Example: A debenture trust deed of T Ltd. empowers debenture-holders to appoint a receiver if interest is unpaid for 6 months. On default, the trustees appoint Mr. X as receiver on 01.06.2024. Mr. X must file Form CHG-6 with ROC and intimate the company by 30.06.2024.
⚠️ Common exam mistakes
Confusing the 30-day notice in Section 84 with the 30-day registration in Section 77 – different events trigger them.
Using the wrong form – CHG-6 is specifically for receivers/managers.
