An employee resigned from service end of Jan'16. Till date the company has not issued a release letter and his final settlement is also due. Now the company intimates the employee that they will initiate disciplinary proceeding against him. Query is - is there any time limit within which the disciplinary proceeding against ex- employee can be started? Is there any specific case laws which can be cited.

Dear Members,

I have a query regarding Resignation of Auditor. Our CA surrendered his COP in March, 2016 and now, he is not eligible to sign the Balance Sheet as Auditor. So, whether only Board Meeting is sufficient to Resign the Auditor and Appoint new Auditor or EGM is to be conducted for this Resignation and Appointment ?

An early reply is needed.

Wish to have a clarity on treating Pvt Ltd Company as public company.

Example: ABC Pvt Ltd is a subsidiary of XYZ Ltd (public Company) and is to be treated as public company though it is a pvt Company by definition of Public Company u/s 2(71) of CA 2013. (This is clear by the definition).

further, MNC Pvt Ltd, which is subsidiary of ABC Pvt Ltd, will definitely, also a subsidiary (step down subsidiary) of XYZ Ltd (Public Company).

In my opinion, this MNC Pvt Ltd, though it is a subsidiary of a public company, need not be treated as public company because it is immediate subsidiary of XYZ Ltd, which is Pvt Ltd Company by virtue of its articles(though its a deemed public company).

I wish to have opinion on this, to what extent we should consider Pvt Ltd Company as public limited company. Especially in the case of step-down subsidiary as detailed in the above example.

If the step down subsidiaries of Pvt Ltd Companies also to be treated as public limited companies, then every small pvt ltd company is also required to comply with the provisions which is applicable to public limited companies, which is senseless and huge compliance for such small companies.

Please guide.

What views would a Public Limited Company, whose paid-up capital is more than Rs.5 Crores, would have if they fail to appoint a Whole Time Company Secretary? In case if they fail to appoint a Company Secretary, can they appoint a person, of some other professional qualification who is well versed in Company Law, as a Company Secretary, till they appoint a Whole Time Company Secretary?

What is the time limit for appointment for Company Secretary, from the date of increase in paid-up capital above Rs.5 Crores?
