Sir,
What are the rules for a Private Company, 2 directors, loan received from Mother in law of one director in 2004, charge against the loan was registered with the ROC that year.
Does the company need to follow the above reproduced here :As per companies Act 2013,if the private company have any loan received from any person other than director,then they have to file a statement in Form DPT-4 upto 30th June 2014 with the ROC. ???
Thank you.
Regards.
Thanks for the analysis.
A small suggestion to include appropriate headings for the points, as Headings for the comparison given are missing.
As per the rules notified, there is no need to appoint Company Secretary in Private Companies. Only Listed and Public companies required to appoint CS as KMP.
For the CSR Committee, if there are only 2 Directors in a Company, then Both the Directors can head the CSR Committee. NO NEED TO APPOINT AN INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR.
What effect on public copmany
Read. Thanks for the writing.
KMP PROVISIONS PROVIDED 10 CRORE ( NOT 5 CRORE)- KEY MANAGERIAL PERSONNEL
its helpful.
for appointment of CS, in CA 2013, threshold is Rs. 10 Cr. in Rules, whereas in your above analysis it is still mentioned as Rs. 5 Cr. please re-check and provide actual position.
