To The respected experts Section 210(3) of Companies act 1956 states: The profit and loss account shall relate- (a) in the case of the first annual general meeting of the company, to the period beginning with the incorporation of the company and ending with a day which shall not precede the day of the meeting by more than nine months; and (b) 1 in the case of any subsequent annual general meeting of the company, to the period beginning with the day immediately after the period for which the account was last submitted and ending with a day which shall not precede the day of the meeting by more than six months, or in cases where an extension of time has been granted for holding the meeting under the second proviso to subsection (1) of section 166, by more than six months and the extension so granted.] My query is: Is there any exactly similar provision under Companies Act 2013?
