Is there any section/rule/notification/circular which specifies about who can be/ cannot be members of the Company?

19 January 2016 For Incorporation of Private Limited Company there should be atleaset two persons.

Person: includes a Company and on behalf of Comapny as well as of any other person, an agent duly authorized may sign. but a 'firm' as such cannot sign, as a firm is not person.

Any person who is competent to contract can be subscriber. A Company being a legal person can subscribe. A partnership not being a legal person cannot do so; an individual partner must subscribe.
