Private Limited Company- Provisions after exemptions

After commencement of Companies Act, 2013 from 01^stApril 2014 compliance requirement of Companies has been increased. Therefore it’s difficult for the Private Company to continue and for peoples to incorporate new Companies. The new Company law was pain for the youth. Although it allows a single-person company to be set up, when it needs to draw in fresh investment, it will be forced, for all practical purposes, to become a multi-share-holder Company. However small it is, it will have to meet full secretarial Standards. There is every reason to make compliance with the full panoply of regulation conditional on crossing a defined threshold. Section 185 makes it hard for owner of a clutch of privately-held Companies to shuffle capital amongst the companies. This produces inflexibility while advancing no public interest.

Similarly clumsy attempts to prevent mischief in related party transactions make life complex in other Cases, too. Such legal requirements rightfully belong to the world of Kafka, not to attempts to improve ease of doing business. Young, ambitious Indians deserve better.

But after 5^th June, 2015 “EXEMPTION” has been provided to Private Limited Companies. After all that exemptions status of Private Limited Companies under Companies Act, 2013 more or less is equal to Status in Companies Act, 1956.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India issued the final notifications under Section 462 of the Companies Act, 2013 (Act), which provide exemptions under various provisions of the Act to Private Companies and has “Removed Hurdles in the path of Small Companies”

Notification issued by MCA on 5^thJune, 2015 is effective from the date of its notification only i.e. 5th June, 2015.
