    Dear Author, you have written that “As per Companies (Amendment) Act, 2017, having effect from 07.05.2018 the paid up capital has been prescribed upto Rs. Ten crores and turnover as per immediately preceding financial year has been prescribed upto one hundred crores.”
    “has been prescribed’ gives impression it is prescribed. If so please mention when it is prescribed.
