This query is : Resolved 

26 March 2014 sir i need a clarification regards which act to follow.my company was incorporate under com act-1956 .whether we follow 1956 act or 2013 .

26 March 2014 Follow whichever is in force.

The Companies Act, 2013, passed by the Parliament, received the assent of the President of India on 29th August, 2013 and was published in the Gazette of India on 30th August, 2013.

Some of the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) have been implemented by a notification published on 12th September, 2013 whereby MCA appointed 12th September, 2013 as the date on which provisions of 98 Sections (includes partly notified Sections) of the Act came into force. The Notification dated 12th September, 2013 is available at the following link:
https://www.mca.gov.in/Ministry/pdf/CommencementNotificationOfCA2013.pdf

MCA, on 27th February, 2014, notified Section 135, Schedule VII and CSR Rules which shall come into force on 1st April, 2014. These three Notifications are available at the following link:
https://www.mca.gov.in/Ministry/pdf/CompaniesActNotification1_2014.pdf
https://www.mca.gov.in/Ministry/pdf/CompaniesActNotification2_2014.pdf
https://www.mca.gov.in/Ministry/pdf/CompaniesActNotification3_2014.pdf

Now, vide Notification dated 26th March, 2014, MCA has appointed 1st April, 2014 as the date on which provisions of 196 Sections (includes remaining provisions of Sections notified on 12th September, 2013) and 6 Schedules (Schedules I to VI) of the Act shall come into force. The Notification dated 26th March, 2014 is available at the following link:

With the above Notifications, as on 26th March, 2014, all the Schedules (Schedules I to VII) and 283 Sections of the Act stand notified and 187 Sections are yet to be notified. Rules under the Companies Act, 2013 except CSR Rules are yet to be notified.
