Following sums shall be credited to the fund.
a) Grant's by the center government after due appropriation made by parliament.
Can anyone explain this to me?
Investor Education and Protection Fund has been set up by the Government under the Section 125 of the companies Act, 2013 for the promotion of the investor's awareness and the protection of the interest of investors. Various amounts as prescribed in the section 125 need to be credited to the fund like the unpaid/unclaimed dividends, matured debentures and deposits which were not redeemed/repaid, redeemable preference shares which were not redeemed by the company due to any reason etc.
Also Governments and other institutions can make donations to the fund. Similarly the Central Govt. can appropriate certain amount and make grants to the fund. But every appropration out of Govt. funds requires an approval in the Parliament. The same thing has been mentioned in the provision.
