03 December 2012 Thank you very much sir.
Now I am quiet clear with applicability as you mentioned in your 1st reply.
but the real question is as u mentioned in 2nd reply about applicability of said sections to the company registered outside India.
is it mentioned expressly that company reg. outside India are not covered or is it a practice? thank you very much

03 December 2012 Hi

Generally section 299 deal with direct or indirect interest of director. But section are silent about whether it will be applicable a company incorporated outside India or not.

So,I am not sure about applicability on foreign company. I will suggest you to check AS-18 deal with related party disclosure.
