05 January 2011 Since you are a private company entering into contract with a public company, section 297 will not be attracted.

However public company will be required to comply with section 297 if both the companies have common directors.

05 January 2011 However Section 299 with regard to disclosure of interest and 301 with regard to entry in the register of contracts, conmpanies and firms in which directors are interested will be applicable in your case.

Hence the director is required to make disclosure in the Board meeting regarding his interest in the contract which may be noted in the minutes of Board Meeting and necessary entries are to be made in the register maintained u/s.303.

05 January 2011 thank u so much mam....
so we nid to jst go wid disclosure of interest rite..? so we can deposit money and do our formalities.

05 January 2011 hello mam..
is der a nid to enter in to contract. i mean is der ia nid to enter physical agreements by the two directors/company????

widout the contract we are not suppose to deposit???
please guide..

05 January 2011 Indian Contract Act validates oral contracts as well. So physical agreements are not mandatory. However company is managed by directors and the managment keeps changing. So for having clear terms and conditions, it is advisable to enter into a written contract.
