I have downloaded the supplementary study paper on notified sections of chapter 9 and 10 of the companies act 2013 for Nov 2014 law exams where I have found section 128 to 148 applicable.But if we go through new book of Munish Bhandari,we will find new sections quoted for chapters like Directors also like sec 263 as sec 162 or sec 265 as sec 163 although the content is same.I am confused so as to whether we have to quote sections as per Companies act 1956 or as per Companies act 2013 in this exam for Chapters like Directors.Plz guide.

Of course, u must quote sections of new comp act, if the questions relates to new sections. Question of whether inside contents are same or not does nt arise at al. Wen new section is applicable u hav to quote new one only.

From an exam perspective, quoting the correct section numbers of the Companies Act 2013 is a major differentiator, especially for CA Intermediate and Final levels where examiners look for technical precision. The 2013 Act completely restructured the 1956 framework, and quoting old sections or misquoting new ones can lead to substantial marks being deducted. To help memorize and map these sections, this Companies Act 2013 study guide (https://chesserresources.com/doc/companies-act-2013/) lists the core provisions, incorporation rules, and audit requirements in a clean, structured table format. It's highly effective for revision and ensuring you don't mix up the 1956 and 2013 frameworks.
