10 July 2012 Hi,

Please guide me whether an unlisted company having an authorised capital of more than 20 crore Rs. needs to have an audit committee as per section 292(A) of the Companies Act, 1956 If yes, then please clarify that whether any family member can be appointed as the additional director and the provisions can be complied or an independent director has to be appointed for this purpose. Thanking You,

Thanks & Regards
