what is the procedure for start a new business which is under other business clause of MOA if we have a private company? and also describe will sec.149 apply on private company?
Section 149 of the Companies Act, 1956 is not apply to private limited company.
In case of public company:
Where an existing public limited company proposes to take up a new business, which is covered in the "other objects" of the Memorandum in the case of a company formed on or after 15-10-1965 or covered in the object clause of a company formed before 15-10-1965, the said business can be undertaken by the company only after the proposal is approved by the members by a special resolution. The said business will be considered as a new business, in the case of a company existing prior to 15-10-1965 only when the new business is not germane to the business, which the company was carrying on at that time.
