Our lender appointed a receiver or manager — what must be intimated?
The short answer
When a lender appoints a receiver or manager over charged assets, the company must intimate the appointment to the Registrar through CHG-6 under Section 84. This is separate from registering the underlying charge — it tracks who is now controlling the secured assets on the lender's behalf.

Questions founders actually ask
Is CHG-6 the same as registering the charge?
No. CHG-1 registers the underlying charge. CHG-6 is a separate intimation under Section 84 when a receiver or manager is appointed or ceases — it tells the Registrar who controls the secured assets.
Who files CHG-6?
The company intimates the appointment or cessation of a receiver or manager to the Registrar through CHG-6 under Section 84.
Do we file again when the receiver steps down?
Yes. CHG-6 covers both appointment and cessation. Intimate the Registrar when the receiver or manager ceases to act, not only at appointment.
