Multinational corporations have been carrying on business in India through private limited companies (‘Indian Companies’) set up by them under the Companies Act, 1956 (‘the Act’). Often, such private limited companies are not subsidiaries of the principal holding company (which has public shareholding), but are step-down subsidiaries of subsidiary companies of such principal holding companies.
A man is known by the company he keeps. But with the implementation of the Companies Bill 2009, a single person will constitute a Company, under the One Person Company (OPC) concept.As a structure for professionals, individual entrepreneurs, SMES and NGOs – the proposed Section 171 extends to Section 25 Companies as well – this is a godsend, as it insulates the shareholders personal assets from liability. But one wonders whether this Bill is the right platform or the timing is opportune. There have been too many writings on the Bill and its various dimensions. It is a critical piece of reform, which will be resisted and opposed by many.
The Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 (‘the LLP Act’) was brought into force with effect from 31st March 2009 to permit formation of Limited Liability Partnerships (‘LLPs’) in India. The main focus of the LLP Act is to permit a partnership structure and at the same time, limit the liability of partners which was heretofore unlimited under the provisions of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 (‘the Partnership Act’). This article discusses briefly the limitation of liability of partners under the LLP Act as compared to the limitation of liability of a shareholder of a limited company formed and registered under the Companies Act, 1956 (‘the Companies Act’) and the manner in which such liabilities are limited under the LLP Act.
Reports have been published in a section of media indicating Shri R.Vasudevan as “Acting Chairman, Company Law Board” or “Company Law Board Chief”. This is factually incorrect as he was never the Acting Chairman of the Company Law Board at any point of time after superannuation of Shri S.Balasubramanian, Chairman, Company Law Board on 2.11.2009. In fact, Shri R.Vasudevan happened to be the junior most Member of the Company Law Board, who joined the Board only on 5.8.2009.
During the last one week’s investigation into the bribery case against Company Law Board (CLB) member R Vasudevan, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has purportedly found that Vasudevan had made enough ill-gotten money. In fresh raids, the agency has recovered cash, FDRs and jewellery worth nearly Rs 1 crore from his residence.
Investigation under Section 235:-Investigation is the act of determining whether criminal matters such as employee theft, securities fraud (including falsification of financial statements), identity theft, and insurance fraud have occurred.
100% Asset Cover: To align the Listing Agreement with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, the amended Listing Agreement requires issuers to maintain 100% asset cover sufficient to discharge the principal amount at all times for the debt securities issued. Further, to provide more information to investors, the periodic disclosures to the stock exchange shall now require disclosure of the extent and nature of security created and maintained.
The government has put its act together to see that the Company Law Board (CLB), the quasi-judicial body that gives verdicts on litigation and complaints that come under the purview of the Companies Act, gets a fresh set of members soon. This is in the backdrop of the arrest of R Vasudevan, the senior most CLB member, on November 24. This has left the board with just two members to hear the pending cases that run into thousands.
We take the pleasure in announcing that CDSL Ventures Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Central Depository Services (India) Limited (CDSL), has designed an electronic voting system as an alternative to the paper-based postal ballot process, to facilitate voting on company resolutions. This system was inaugurated on November 17, 2009 by Hon’ble Minister Shri Salman Khurshid, Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has established Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) to act as the capacity building support for the officers / officials of the Ministry on issues relating to effective corporate functioning and regulation.

Giving this information in the Rajya Sabha, Shri Salman Khurshid, Minister of Corporate Affairs, said in a written reply that an elaborate regulatory framework is in place to deal with cases like Satyam scam.
