sec 177 relating to audit committee is not applicable to private companies......sec 177(9) relating to establishment of vigil mechanism is applicable to the following companies: (a) the Companies which accept deposits from the public; (b) the Companies which have borrowed money from banks and public financial institutions in excess of fifty crore rupees..... So any company falling in above criteria have to establish a vigil mechanism......
