08 December 2010 Hi..

Only the Private Company which has a paid capital of Rs.1Crores will have to obtain the previous approval of the Central Government in Form 24A. The other Private Company which has a paid up capital of less than Rs.1 Crores will have to only obtain the approval of the Board of Directors and no approval of the Central Government will have to be obtained by that Private Company.

In case the Company having a paid up capital of Rs.1 Crores or more fails to obatin the previous approval of the Central Government, then the Contract so entered into by the Company shall be void ab initio.

God Bless

09 December 2010 You can file an application for compounding of offence under section 621A.
Only after the compounding you can apply to RD for approval. In many cases compounding application and application for approval are filed simultaneously.
