Whether Section 300 of the companies act will be applicable in following situation?

- Mr. P is a director in XYZ Ltd
- PQR Ltd has entered into leasing transaction with XYZ Pvt Ltd Co. & DEF Pvt Ltd.

- Now Mr. P is not director or member in XYZ Pvt Ltd Co. or DEF Pvt Ltd. But Sons of Mr. P are Director in XYZ Pvt Ltd & holds 26% and wife of Mr.P holds 50% in DEF Pvt. Ltd.

Now, Question arose whether section 300 will be trigerred in case where director is holding less than 2% but his relative is holding more percentage???

Please give reference of your reply, if possible..

Dear Hiral,

S.300 is not applicable refer S.300(2) Sub-section (1) shall not apply to-

(a) a private company which is neither a subsidiary nor a holding company of a public company;

Also refer S.300(d)(ii).

DEAR HIRAL, SEC.300 STATES THAT A DIRECTOR OF A PUBLIC COMPANY OR A PRIVATE COMPANY WHICH IS A SUBSIDIARY OF A PUBLIC COMPANY SHALL NOT VOTE IN RESPECT OF A CONTRACT IN WHICH HE IS CONCERNED OR INTERESTED. AGAIN SEC. 300(2) STATES THAT WHERE THE DIRECTOR HOLD LESS THAN 2% SHARES HE WOULD BE EXEMPED FROM SEC.300 THAT IS HE WOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE IN THE BORAD MEETING.

SEC.299 STATES THAT A DIRECTOR OF A PUBLIC OR A PRIVATE CO. WHICH IS A SUBSIDIARY OF A PUBLIC COMPANY SHOULD DISCLOSE THE NATURE OF HIS INTEREST IN THE FIRST BM HELD AFTER HIS APPOINTMENT AS DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY.

REGARDS,

TANVEER.
