One case of M/s. Speak-Asia Online Pte, a foreign company, has come to the notice of Ministry of Corporate Affairs. It is a multi-level marketing company. As per preliminary enquiry, it is found that the company is not registered under the Companies Act, 1956. Besides, the company has also not registered its place of business with the Registrar of Companies,

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has clarified that its Circular No.33/2011 issued on June 01, 2011 shall be applicable to those defaulting companies and their Directors which have not filed their Balance Sheet and Annual Return for any of the financial year’s 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09 and 2009-10 with the Registrar of Companies as required under sections 220 and / or 159 of the Companies Act, 1956.
Ministry has observed that some listed companies have shown abnormal figure of their shareholders in their Annual Return (e-form no. 20B) filed with the Registrar of Companies. It appears that the signatories of e-form 20B of above companies including certifying practicing professionals have not verified the figures of number of shareholders from the records of the company. It can also be inferred that by putting figure of only 1 (one shareholder) in a listed company, the practicing professionals have not discharged their duties prudently and are liable for professional misconduct.The signatory Directors and company secretaries of these companies are also liable for furnishing wrong information in the Form.
In order to check the misuse of funds raised by companies via public offerings, the government has directed the Registrar of Companies (RoCs) to look for diversion of IPO funds while inspecting their annual accounts. In a directive to RoCs and Regional Directors, the Corporate Affairs Ministry has asked them last week to check for fund diversions by companies from the objectives stated in the prospectus and related party transactions, and carry out inspections soon after the filing of annual accounts.
Independent directors will not be hauled up for the acts undertaken by companies without their consent or knowledge, as per the new norms announced by the government. “We have directed the Registrar of Companies (RoC) not to take any penal action against those independent directors who are not actively involved in the decision making process of the company,” Corporate Affairs Secretary D K Mittal told PTI.
Addition to list of powers and functions of the Central Government delegated to ROC: Earlier, the grant of license for formation of a company which intends to apply its profits or other income in promoting its objects (i.e. objects of promoting commerce, art, science, religion, charity or any other useful object) and prohibits payment of any dividend to its members [popularly known as section 25 company] was delegated to the RD. Now, such powers to grant license under section 25 has been delegated to the ROC.
The Union ministry of corporate affairs is likely to approach the Supreme Court for permission to appoint a new central administrative head for offices of the registrar of companies (RoC) spread across the country. The move comes against the backdrop
The registrar of companies (RoC) could be empowered to issue orders relating to conducting searches and raids. The proposal, mooted by the corporate affairs ministry, can be part of the new companies Bill that is set to be introduced in the Winter Session of Parliament. According to officials, the government is looking to strengthen the mechanism of investigation and probe, an area that falls directly under the jurisdiction of the RoC.
