Hi everyone,

A company has its year ending as 31st December. It is proposing to change its year ending to 31st March, pursuant to the Companies Act, 2013.
The company has appointed the auditors on 28th March, 2014 at its AGM.
Now whether the appointment of auditor has to be filed by the Auditor in Form 23B or by the company in the new form?

Dear Experts,

After my Analysis of Section 2(71) of CA, 2013 which is reproduced as below,

2...
(71) “public company” means a company which—
(a) is not a private company;
(b) has a minimum paid-up share capital of five lakh rupees or such higher
paid-up capital, as may be prescribed:

Provided that a company which is a subsidiary of a company, not being a private
company, shall be deemed to be public company for the purposes of this Act even
where such subsidiary company continues to be a private company in its articles ;

it is nowhere mention regarding the minimum number of members for public company (i.e. seven).

Please comment on this. Whether it is a clerical error in Law or there is anything hidden or it is written anywhere else?

Dear Experts,

In lights of provisions of CA, 2013,
1) Can an EGM be held on a National Holiday?
2) and at a place Other than in the city where registered office of the company is situated?

So far, there is no section in CA, 2013 providing for calling and conducting EGM at a National Holiday and at a place other than in the city where registered office of the company is situated.

Please throw some light on the aforesaid cases along with any section, rule, circular, etc.

Is it Mandatory to file MGT 14 in the first board meeting if the directors(Including Relatives) has no share holding in other companies??

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 167 (1) (b) a Director will vacate office if he does not attend atleast one board meeting held during a period of twelve months.

Clarification sought for -

1) What does period of twelve months means- calender year or financial year.

2) As the above Section had come in force w.e.f 1st April 2014 so does a Director is required to attend the Board meeting between 1st April 2014 to 31st December 2014.

Dear all,


For a Private Ltd. Company , I need to change the designation of a director already appointed in august 2014 into a managing director. I need to file form DIR-12 for intimating the change in designation. My queries are as follows :

1) Whether any attachment is required to be made for Form DIR-12 (as there is no such thing mentioned even in the Instruction Kit to DIR-12) ??

2) Whether any other forms like Form - MR-1 & MGT-14 are also required to be filed ?? (-in my opinion there is no need to file MR-1 & MGT-14 , as in this case there is no seperate appointment of director , a mere change of Designation of Dierctor)

kindly suggest me at the Earliest.

Thaanks & regards
Hari
