2.Does not applies to a banking, insurance and company licensed to operate u/s 25

3. DOES NOT apply to a private limited company-

WHOSE PAID UP CAPITAL AND RESERVES DOES NOT EXCEED 50 LACS AND

WHICH DOES NOT HAVE ANY LOAN OUTSTANDING EXCEEDING RS 25 LACS FROM ANY BANK OR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION AND

Fixed Asset register is not a statutory register under Companies Act, 1956. It is requirement of CARO.

section 209 [1][c] talks about proper books of account with respect to the asset and liabilities of the company.
