The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has decided to relax the norms for companies to maintain minimum paid-up capital. According to the Companies Act 1956, the minimum paid-up capital for a private company is Rs 1 lakh and for a listed company Rs 5 lakh. According to official sources, while a company can be set up with any amount, but within a time-frame of two years it should raise the capital to Rs 1 lakh and Rs 5 lakh for unlisted and listed companies, respectively.
In 2002, the Companies Act, 1956, was amended to provide establishment of company law tribunals to play the role that had hitherto been played by high courts. Specific arrangements and transactions such as mergers, demergers and reduction of capital, and also liquidation and winding up of companies are overseen by high courts having jurisdiction where the registered office of the company is located. The amendment sought to move such jurisdiction to specialised tribunals established for the purpose, with an appellate tribunal adding a layer of appeal.
The ministry of corporate affairs is looking to amend the disgorgement clause under Companies Act, 1956 to strengthen the mechanism for compensating duped investors by recouping funds from wrong-doers and paying them back to investors.
Scope of Work:- The Companies (Second Amendment) Act, 2002 suggested the creation of a national tribunal would look into most corporate matters in the country. It will be responsible for handling all pending matters before the Company Law Board, the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) and the corporate benches of the High Courts, apart from handling new cases.
The ministry of corporate affairs has begun discussions with the law ministry to incorporate the suggestions made by the Supreme Court when it cleared the National Companies Law Tribunal (NCLT) in the Companies Bill that is with a Parliamentary Standing Committee.
However, the Corporate Affairs Ministry sources said the Government may not be able to get the Bill passed in Parliament in the monsoon session (scheduled to begin in July) itself because preparing a ‘revised proposal’, on the basis of the Committee’s recommendations, and then getting the Cabinet approval for the same, may take time.
In order to give an opportunity to the defunct companies, for getting their names struck off from the Register of Companies, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs has decided to introduce a Scheme namely, ‘Easy Exit Scheme, 2010’ under Section 560 of the Companies Act, 1956.
In order to give an opportunity to the defaulting companies to enable them to make their default good by filing belated documents and to become a regular compliant in future, the Ministry has introduced a Scheme namely, ‘Company Law Settlement Scheme, 2010,’ for condoning the delay in filing documents with the Registrar, granting immunity from prosecution and charging additional fee of 25 percent of actual additional fee payable for filing belated documents under the Companies Act, 1956 and the rules made there under.
Patent Co-operation Treaty (PCT) was entered on June 9, 1970. On 7th December, 1998 India became the 98th contracting state of the PCT. Signatory countries formed a Union for co-operation in filing, searching, and examination of applications for protection of inventions and rendering special technical services.
The ministry of corporate affairs (MCA) has started a round of consultations with the law ministry on the feasibility of setting up a National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) in the next one year.
