Hi All:

I have a clarification, with reference to applicability of CARO 2004 for Private Limited companies, conditions for non-applicability:

1. paid up capital and reserves not more than Rs.50 Lacs and

2. which doesn’t have loan outstanding exceeding Rs.25 from any bank or Fin instn and

3. doesn’t have turnover of turnover of Rs.5 crores

at any point of time during the financial year,

Also I understand that in order to be exempted from applicability of the Order, all the conditions stated in the order must be satisfied simultaneously.

Now my question, how should I interpret the words "satisfied simultaneously",

for example, if a company satisfies paid up capital condition and satisfies turnover condition and DOESNT HAVE ANY LOANS from any banks or FI’s as on ANY DAY OF FINANCIAL YEAR, does this mean CARO 2004 is not applicable?

Please help me to understand.

thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

Based on the example given, the CARO is not applicable.

For applicability the Pvt. Co need to comply with all the 3 conditions laid down. If any one condition is not complied then CARO is applicable.

If there is no loan taken by the company , then the question of complying with the second condition about the o/s liability does not arise.

Friends,

Please refer the Statement on the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2003 issued by ICAI. It states that share application money received should not be considered as part of paid-up capital.

Even, the loans from bank / FI are covered (irrespective of nature whether secured or unsecured)
