a) other than one person companies

b) dormant companies,

So now the Limit of 20 Companies  includes:-

Revised Clause (g) of Section 141 of Companies Act is as follows :-

  1. This amendment is applicable only to private companies right? MCA Notification 5th June 2016 provides for exemptions or modifications to a private company only.
    Does it mean that while computing limit of 20 for a public company these exceptions would not apply?

  2. Will central council general guidelines be applicable? Ca can take up 20 audits following the exception but subject to 30 audits of ccgg 2008..?

  3. Dear friends how its welcome move …how the fresher CA and small firms will survive.How msny companies having 100 crore paid up capital. No one think about freshers and Smaller firms.

  4. Move is good.

    lot many things like this which are to be redressed. As well as compliance of statutory provisions is need of the hours by each and every company.

  5. WHAT ABOUT ADVOCATES RIGHT TO PRACTICE TAXATION LAW.ONCE CA BREAK THE LAW THEY MAKE IT LEGAL SO THAT IN FUTURE IT WILL NOT COUNT AS ILELAGAL. IS ADVOCATE HAVING RIGHT TO PRACTICE TAXATION RIGHT.IF YES THEN HOW BECAUSE NOT A SINGLE POWER IS GIVEN TO ADVOCATES TO PRACTICE TAXATION. SO PLEASE TAKE STEP AHEAD REGARDING THIS ALSO.
