what if company has failed to deposit the share application money pending allotment in escrow bank account? what are its consequences?
what if company has not kept that share application money pending allotment in bank escrow account?? what are its consequences?
The revision of the Companies Act was touted as an improvement and helpful for the working of small Private Ltd companies. But in actual practice, more & more restrictions and compliance’s has been placed. How a small company can function and comply with the changed Rules. ONE WILL NEED A FULL/PART TIME COMPANY SECRETARY TO FUNCTION.
NO DOUBT IT IS SAID THAT INDIA IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT PLACES TO DO BUSINESS IN THE WORLD.
Can anyone please give the reference by which the compliance in relation to 146(3) i.e. resident director can be done one year is given.
“Further director’s of the company has to mention their name & DIN (Director Identification Number) with their signature i.e. all the documents containing the signature of director, director’s name & DIN shall also be mentioned along with their Signature.”
This seems to be the wrong interpretation of the author of this Article . Section 158 reads as under:
158. Every person or company, while furnishing any return, information or particulars as are required to be furnished under this Act, shall mention the Director Identification Number in such return, information or particulars in case such return, information or particulars relate to the director or contain any reference of any director.
Please correct me if there is any provision in the Act which talks of mentioning of DIN along with signature on every letter , documents etc.as mentioned by the author of the above article.
compliance time period for a resident director to fulfill the requirements of section 149(3) under companies act,2013
Thanks. It would have been very helpful if section reference would be given in the article at relevant places.
thanks for writing and informing .

With reference to requirement of resident director, pl note that the Act has not provided time of one year for existing companies as mentioned in the Article. This time limit in Sec.149 is in fact for independent directors and not for resident director. In Sec.149(5) many books have wrongly given reference of “sub-section (3)” instead of “sub-section (4)”. You can refer official gazette notifying the Act for correct version.
Thanks
Read. Thanks for the writing.
