Penalties applicable to Pvt Companies and its directors under Companies Act, 2013

J V R Punnarao says:

In Supporting srihari, providing further more clarification,

1.If a company is unable to spend the contribution amount in a year it should specify the reasons for not spending that amount in its Board of Director’s annual report.
2.There is no penal provision regarding non-compliance of the said provisions in means of spending or in reporting part. However, there are clear penal consequences if a company fails to even set up the CSR committee or fails to create a policy etc.
If a company fails to spend the money, it only has to report this along with reasons. Section 134(8) of the Act provides for such penal provision stating in case the company does not disclose the reasons in the Board‘s report, the company shall be punishable with fine which shall not be less than fifty thousand rupees but which may extend to twenty-five lakh rupees and every officer of the company who is in default shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years or with fine which shall not be less than fifty thousand rupees but which may extend to five lakh rupees, or with both.

3. The new law does not specify punishment for failure to spend CSR expenditure. However such cases are covered under section 450 read with section 451 which provides for residual provisions for the same. Fine under section 450 may extend to ten thousand rupees, and where the contravention is continuing one, a further fine to one thousand rupees for every day after the first during which contravention continues is imposed.

“Excellence should be a Habit”, but not in the case of offences or defaults in the 2013 Act. “Default should not be a habit” says the new law. As per Section 451 of the 2013, the defaulter is punished either with fine or with imprisonment and where the same offence is committed for the second or subsequent occasions within a period of three years, then, that company and every officer thereof who is in default shall be punishable with twice the amount of fine for such offence in addition to any imprisonment provided for that offence.

We acquired a private company that was no operational and the owners failed to maintain a resident director and only had one shareholder for some time. We have since corrected all of the issues. What is the penalty for such acts? Again the entity did not operate at all – entirely dormant during the infractions.
