COMPANIES BILL 2012 AS PASSED BY LOK SABHA 2012


The passing of the Companies Bill, 2011 by the Lok Sabha on 18th December 2012 has been a great achievement of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs during the year. On its enactment this new Companies law will allow the country to have a modern legislation for growth and regulation of corporate sector in India. The existing statute for regulation of companies in the country, viz. the Companies Act, 1956 had been under consideration for quite long for comprehensive revision in view of the changing economic and commercial environment nationally as well as internationally. In view of various reformatory and contemporary provisions proposed in the Companies Bill, 2011, together with omission of existing unwanted and obsolete compliance requirements, the companies in the country will be able to comply with the requirements of the proposed Companies Act in a better and more effective manner.

In October the Union Cabinet approved the proposal to make official amendments to the Companies Bill, 2011. The Companies Bill, 2011 had earlier been introduced in the Lok Sabha on 14th December, 2011 and was considered by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance which submitted its report to the Speaker, Lok Sabha, on 26thJune, 2012. The report was laid in the Parliament on 13th August 2012. Keeping in view the recommendations made by such Committee it was decided to make certain modifications in the Companies Bill, 2011 through official amendments after which it was presented in the Lok Sabha which passed it.
