This query is : Resolved 

27 February 2012 Dear Sir,

Pl. give me following guidance :
Company Seal is made of steel in round shape and when we apply it on a paper, company's name is get embossed on that paper.

My question is :
(1) Can a Partnership Firm make such seal ( instead of regular round rubber stamp )
and apply it (as per Law) on its regular documents like invoices, delivery challan, receipt / payment vouchers, debit/credit notes etc etc. ?
(2) As per Law, can such seal be used by Partnership Firm ?
(3) Or it is only for Pvt. Ltd. / Ltd. Companies that they only can use ?
(4) Is such seal is mandatory requirement of ROC for companies ?
thanks in advance.

As per Companies Act, 1956 company seal is mandatory whether it is public company or private company and it is mandatory required for company.

The company in Board meeting will adopt the company seal and have in custody of director or company secretary.

However, their is no restriction to use common seal by their own use.

27 February 2012 BUT CAN, CAN A PARTNERSHIP FIRM MAKE THE SEAL & USE IT ON DOCUMENTS ? OR A FIRM CAN ONLY USE ROUND RUBBER STAMP ?

THIS IS MY MAIN QUESTION.
PL. GUIDE.
