Voluntary Liquidation of a Private Limited Company

Introduction:

Company is a form of business which comes with many compliance requirements. Unlike other forms of business like Proprietorship or Partnership Firm which have very less compliance burden, companies have to comply with lot more regulations. Introduction of Companies Act, 2013 has also increase this compliance burden.

This entails an increasing cost in the form of Government fees, late payment interest & penalty etc. The businessmen have to hire consultants to manage these requirements which in turn further increase their cost.

In the face of global economic slowdown, if the business is not performing well, this additional compliance would only increase losses of the business instead of adding any value. Hence, many small companies prefer to switch to other forms of business like Partnership Firm. In this article we will discuss the process of closing down a Pvt. Ltd. company.

6 changes you must know for registration of company’s name under new Rules [MCA Notification dated 22/01/2016]

  • The Govt. has notified the Companies (Incorporation) Amendment Rules, 2016 (‘Amended Incorporation Rules’). Now the process of reservation of name of companies has been simplified. Following changes have been made for ease of doing business in India:
    1. Name of company need not to be in consonance with principal object : Under extant norms, the company’s name was necessarily required to be in consonance with principal object, if such name resembled any object of company. Now as per the amended Rules the name of company will not be considered undesirable even if it is not in consonance with the principal objects of the company as set out in Memorandum of association. Let us understand this condition with the help of an example. Suppose if a company wants to opt its name as ‘ABC Builders Pvt. Ltd.’ then it is not necessary that its principal object should be related to construction and development only. Thus, now company is free to choose such name which is not in consonance with principal object.
