mine same query...
😉😉 I guess there is the mistake in the law..
if u get the answer please don't forget to post here brother... I will be thankful to u...and the same thing goes for me
yes..i will try to find out answer
law cannot be worng law is always right.

Relatives under Rule 4 of companies(specification of defination details)Rules,2014
daughter does not include step daughter according to the defination given under relatives
sakshi we are trying to find out the logic behind not including step daughter in the definition of relative..
deepak how many rules are there in companies act 2013
36 rules..you can find all rules in this app itself
Father, mother, son, brother and sister include the step-counterparts but there is no specific mention about step-daughter. It may be a drafting mistake or may be an intentional exclusion. Whatever it may be, but the plain interpretation of the section indicates that step daughter is not a relative.

We get one more surprising thing here. In one case, a person can be relative of another in one way, but the reverse way, the person is not a relative. For example, Mr. A has a step daughter Ms. B. So for Ms. B, Mr. A, being a step-father, is a relative. However, for Mr. A, Ms. B is not a relative as step-daughter is not a relative.

Thank you..
ok..ty sir...so in short we have to blindly follow what is written in the law
