The Corporate Affairs Ministry is expected to bring out the code on corporate governance in a year’s time. Mr Salman Khursheed, Minister of State for Corporate Affairs, said on Monday that the final code would be based on the draft common minimum code, which would be out for public review by the third week of December.
Investigation under Section 235:-Investigation is the act of determining whether criminal matters such as employee theft, securities fraud (including falsification of financial statements), identity theft, and insurance fraud have occurred.
Former Chhattisgarh High Court Judge Mr Justice Dilip Raosaheb Deshmukh took charge as the new Chairman of the Company Law Board (CLB) on Friday, four days ahead of the originally scheduled joining date. This follows a request by the Government as the presiding Chairman, Mr R. Vasudevan, was arrested on Tuesday by the CBI in a bribery case. The CLB Chairman’s post was held by bureaucrats for many years.
The government is examining a proposal seeking to split the compensation package of independent directors into fixed and variable components to ensure they play an active role in the affairs of companies. The variable component will be linked to the attendance at the board meetings, an official with the minsitry of corporate affairs told to a leading newspaper.
The government has put its act together to see that the Company Law Board (CLB), the quasi-judicial body that gives verdicts on litigation and complaints that come under the purview of the Companies Act, gets a fresh set of members soon. This is in the backdrop of the arrest of R Vasudevan, the senior most CLB member, on November 24. This has left the board with just two members to hear the pending cases that run into thousands.
It has directed them to create a “suitable mechanism” to hold periodic scrutiny against violation of Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). The move comes after it was found that some foreign retail companies or joint ventures, which had permission to undertake only “cash & carry wholesale trading” were violating the rules. They were apparently selling directly for personal consumption, which is prohibited. It was also noticed that companies that were allowed to operate single-brand retail outlets sold multiple brands in violation of permission.
Vasudevan, who was director investigation and inspection ministry of corporate affairs before joining the CLB three months ago, was looking into high profile cases like the Satyam and the Sesa Goa fraud. “No we don’t need to relook, it is the SFIO that has done the investigation, in the beginning it was done at the level of Regional Director and Registrar of Companies and then it was taken over by the SFIO, so I don’t think we need to worry at all…,” Corporate Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid said.
We take the pleasure in announcing that CDSL Ventures Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL), has designed an electronic voting system as an alternative to the paper-based postal ballot process, to facilitate voting on company resolutions. This system was inaugurated on November 17, 2009 by Hon’ble Minister Shri Salman Khurshid, Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has established Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) to act as the capacity building support for the officers / officials of the Ministry on issues relating to effective corporate functioning and regulation. The Institute can also design and deliver training programmes on such areas relating to corporate laws and regulations on specific requests from concerned Ministry / Department / Organisation. Giving this information in the Rajya Sabha, Shri Salman Khurshid, Minister of Corporate Affairs, said in a written reply that an elaborate regulatory framework is in place to deal with cases like Satyam scam.
Acting chairman of Company Law Board R Vasudevan was arrested by CBI for allegedly taking bribe of Rs seven lakh from a company secretary to give a favourable verdict to a media house. Mr. Vasudevan was arrested from his official residence at HUDCO Palace in south Delhi late last night while he was allegedly accepting the bribe from Manoj Banthia, who was also nabbed.
