As per section 299(3) of the Companies Act, every Director is required to file form 24AA.So my question is whether this form is to be filed in every financial year.????

Also for eg if a director resigned on 01/11/2007 from co. Y and he has to file form 24AA for co. X and the notice date(form 24AA) is 25/10/2007,, so will he show his directorship in Co. Y????

Plz reply urgent

Hi
 
 
General notice given by the director under section 299 in Form No. 24AA expire at the end of the financial year. It can be renewed by giving a fresh notice in the last month of the financial year in which the notice expires. The notice is effective only if it is brought to notice of the Board and read in the first meeting after such notice is given.
 
At the time of filing of form 24AA to company x , he is director of company y so it is required to give the general notice about his directorship including company Y.

Yes, I agree with Mr Ajay.  I would only like to clarify that submission of form 24AA is optional and not mandatory by law.  The director can choose to disclose his interest in any contract which is being approved by the Board in the meeting on case to case basis.  However, it is advisable to obtain general declaration to avoid consequences for not disclosing the interest by oversight in any particular case.

I what to know in what cases or rather what are the matters to be disclosed by the Directors in Form 24AA (how can we interpret the words "Nature of Interest").

Should the Director disclose his interest in a foreign company also ( like if he holds more than 2% shares in a Foreign Company)

Please help me and provide me the information as to what are the matters that are to disclosed by the Directors and when the directors are liable to disclose.

Hi
 
Disclosure of Nature of Interest whether direct or indirect
 
A director is said to be directly concerned or interested in a contract or arrangement, when he himself has personal interest in a particular contract or arrangement. Whereas a director is said to be indirectly concerned or interested when any of his relatives and associates has got personal interest in the particular contract.
 
Word ‘interest’ occurring in sections 299 and 300 means personal interest and not official or other interest.
 
In Yashovardhan Saboo v. Croz-Beckert Saboo Ltd. (1995) the CLB says “The provisions enacted in section 297, 299 and 300 of the Companies Act are founded on the principle that a director is precluded from dealing on behalf of the company as himself and from entering into engagements in which he has a personal interest conflicting or which possibly may conflict with the interest of those with whom he is bound by fiduciary duty.   
Section 299 does not prohibit from disclosing his interest in foreign company also, if such director hold more than two percent of the paid up capital of the foreign company.

where i will get the format of form 24AA U/S 299

hiiii................

Can a private companies purchase the shares of other private company  if such purchase amount to 45 % of capital in the target company. And both the companies have 2 common directors.If yes what disclosures are required by the  company and directors.

Ofcourse a pvt company can purchase shares of other pvt company

All those transactions which are directly or indirectly interested by the directors  

The Form 24 AA will contain the name of teh company, CIN and the nature of interest (like director, secretary...)

The same has to be placed before the board every year

Thank You..........Very much Sir..............................

In Form 24AA, any interest of a director and/or his relatives in companies that exceeds 2% of the stock of such company has to be listed. Since a foreign director of an Indian Pvt co  is not interested to make his interests public, is there another way for him? Kindly suggest.
