Hi
The expression “Joint Stock Company” is not the same thing as “Company” as defined in section 3 of the Companies Act, 1956 (the Act). Section 3 of the Act, which deal with definitions of different kind of company, does not use the expression “Joint Stock Company” and although this expression contains the words “Company”, it has not been used in the same sense in which section 3 used it. Throughout Part IX the word “Company” seems to have been used as meaning “Joint Stock Company” and not as meaning “Company” as defined in section 3 of the Act. [Valti Pattabhirama Rao v Sri Ramanuja Ginning & Rice Factory Pvt. Ltd. (1986)].
A “Joint Stock Company” means a company or association consisting of a number of Individuals organized to conduct a business for gain with a joint stock, the shares owned by any member being transferable without the consent of the rest.
Therefore the LLP may be converted into a company by following the provisions of Part IX of the Act. Section 565 to 581 deal with conversion of entities in to a company under the Companies Act, 1956. However, there is no clarity under the Companies Act, 1956 and the MCA has given comments that necessary amendments may be considered under the Companies Act, 1956.
