(i)  Sub-section (68) of section 2 :- Registrar of Companies may register those Memorandum and Articles of Association received till 11.9.2013 as per the definition clause of the ‘private company’ under the Companies Act 1956 without referring to the definition of ‘private company’ under the “said Act”,

(ii)  Section 102 :- All companies which have issued notices of general meeting on or after 12.9.2013, the statement to be annexed to the notice shall comply with additional requirements as prescribed in section 102 of the ”said Act”.

(iii) Section 133 :- Till the Standards of Accounting or any addendum thereto are prescribed by Central Government in consultation and recommendation of the National Financial Reporting Authority, the existing Accounting Standards notified under the Companies Act, 1956 shall continue to apply.

(iv) Section 180 :- In respect of requirements of special resolution under Section 180 of the “said Act”, as against ordinary resolution required by the Companies Act 1956, if notice for any such general meeting was issued prior to 12.9.2013, then such resolution may be passed in accordance with the requirement of the Companies Act 1956.

  22. Regarding Director Disclosures:
    I have obtained declaration from directors on 24AA with March 31, 2014 as Section 184 (corresponding section 299 of the old act) MDP1 will be effective from April 1, 2014. Kindly suggest, do I need to take declaration in MDP1 dated in April , 2014 or March 31, 2014 declaration as per the Co. Act, 1956 is okay for compliance. The declaration is for FY 2014-15.

    Pertaining to declaration under 164 (2) (corresponding section 274 (1) (g), Form DDA) there is no specific format has been rolled out (like MDP 1) for obtaining the disclosure from the Directors. Will old format Form DDA will suffice (with replacement of sections). Can you please suggest on this please

  35. Ma’am,
    kindly help in following queries…
    1) Borrowing by Company (section 180 1 a) & Sale Lease (Section 180 1 c):
    – In case of private company resolution shall be passed before any charge creation /modification or as and when becomes applicable?
    – If the company already has crossed limit of borrowing power then in this case when shall the permission be taken?
    – Forms are as per old act

    2) (Section 2(68)):
    As definition of private company is modified, then is it necessary to alter the provision of AOA for all companies now related to number of members / directors??

    3) (Section 161):
    Additional director appointed by company if gets failed to be regularized in general meeting then will he be prohibited to act as director of same company for its lifetime?

    4) (Section 39): public offer allotment
    Applicability of Allotment of shares provisions clarification needed…
    Is this section applicable for allotment by Private company?

    Reply

    • Can you please clarify your first questions?
      Regarding 2nd question- Though Section 2(68) of the Companies Act 2013 became effective, the limit of number of members is applicable to new companies only and not to old companies.

      Regarding 3rd question – If additional director gets failed to be regularised in Annual general meeting, then his term of office will come to an end and then appointment of additional director shall be made newly who will be regularised in the next Annual General meeting. But technically on MCA 21 portal he will remain as additional director till his designation will be changed to director. Hence I would advised you to ask him to resign and again appoint him as additional director.

      Regarding public offer- Section 39 is not applicable to private company.

    How Average net profit can be arived, is 349 and 350 will apply to it or otherwise?

  38. Dear Madam,

    I thank you a number of times for taking time out and providing such relevant information to students like me and professionals. I was really worried about the implementation as I didn’t have a summarized form of newly introduced sections of Companies Act. But after visiting your blog, I feel relaxed as I can compare the old ones with the new ones with ease.

  45. Clarification is required in terms of Section 180 of the Companies Act, 2013. The section speaks of ‘a company’ and doesn’t define whether it is applicable on public company, private company which is a subsidiary of public company or a purely private company. While in the corresponding provision under Section 293 of the Companies Act, 1956, it was applicable only to public company and private company which is a subsidiary of public company.

    As far as my understanding sec 180 is applicable to pvt companies also. In such case when should the company conduct the general meeting and obtain members approval. –immediately after 12.09.2013 or can the approval of members be obtained in current date. Moreover the relevant new form-23 is also not available. Pls give your views

    Also, can the existing Private Limited Companies increase the no. of members to 200?

    • If loan to director given before implementation of New Companies Act 2013, then the provision of Companies Act 1956 will become applicable. The Private limited company can increase the no. of members to 200.

  58. Can an existing Private Ltd. Company raise funds by way of issue of bonds or debentures to meet the expansion plans through the Board resolution. The related infoare:
    1. The Authorised capital of the company is 100 lakhs and fully subscribed by the two members who constitute the Board.
    2. The proposal involves raising of Rs. 500 lakhs solely for expansion.
    3. The estimated number of subscribers is around 250 (friends & relatives only)
    4. The shareholders funds including reserves is Rs.123 lakhs

    Reply

    • As per Section 3(iii) the Companies Act, the private limited company prohibits any invitation to the public to subscribe for shares, prohibits any invitation or acceptance of deposit from persons other than its members, directors or their relatives. Hence in your case the company cannot raise funds by way of issue of bonds, debentures to meet the expansion plans.

    • The Companies Act 2013 is not yet implemented. The Government has only provided Draft Rules. Hence as of now the old provision of the Companies Act 1956 will become applicable for the private limited company i.e. minimum 2 and maximum upto 12 as per Articles of Association. If the company wishes to increase total number beyond 20 then application to the Registrar of Companies shall be made.

    I want to know that if the AGM of a company is conducted on 30th September, 2013 then what are the requirements for e-filing with the ROC under the Companies Act 2013?
    Other than Form No. 20B, 23AC, 23ACA and 66, any other form is also required to be filed with ROC?
    Whether it is to be filed under the old form only or any new form is prescribed?

    Reply

    • New Companies Act, 2013 is not yet fully implemented. Just now in the month of September, only 98 sections became applicable. As far as Annual General Meeting is concerned, as of now, the same provisions are applicable with regards to filing with ROC. Other that form 20B,23AC/23ACA and 66, the company is required to make sure that whether an auditor has filed Form 23B( Appointment of an Auditor) with ROC or not. As of now, old forms shall be applicable.

  74. Dear Ms Meenal,

    Firstly i really appreciate your sincere efforts to help new entrepreneurs. I am writing this conversation to clarify my small doubt.

    I am running a publicity proprietorship which i registered last year in August 13. I am sole proprietor for my registered firm. Now since our turnover has touched 1.5 Cr mark i wish to form a company. However i will be active director of my company and planning to add my brother as a sleeping director. Can you please suggest me how can go about it since my brother is abroad on 1 year working Visa?

    Thanks in advance.

    Warm Regards,
    Vinay

    Reply

    • If you wish to form company you can either convert your proprietorship firm into new Private Limited company or keeping the same firm continued you can register new private company. As you said that your brother to whom you would like to appoint him as sleeping partner, stays outside India, under this situation you can register company having minimum two directors in which you and your brother ( NRI) will be the first director as well as first shareholders of proposed company. The Companies Act 1956 allows NRI to be director and shareholder of proposed company.
