MCA vide notification dated 22nd June, 2017 issued Companies (Audit and Auditors) Second Amendment Rules, 2017, effective immediately from the above date. The Rules are meant to further amend the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014. The amendment pertains to corresponding rule for Section 139(2), regarding rotation of auditors in the Company.
In view of Companies Act, 1956 being a special statute and upon considering the language of section 10-F, in my view it is clear that the Company Court has no power to condone delay beyond the period of 60 days.
Paid up share capital limit for rotation of auditors in case of private companies has been increased from rupees twenty crore to rupees fifty crore or more. There are no changes in other criteria.
According to the Company Law, shares of a Public Limited Company are freely transferable whereas a Private Limited Company is required to restrict the right to transfer its shares by its Articles of Association (Section 2 (68) of the 2013 Act).
