Govt relaxes norms for related party transactions, acceptance of deposits

08 Jun 2015 Evaluate

Government moving a step further in its strategy to make it easier to do business in the country, has relaxed norms pertaining to related party transactions, accepting deposits and appointing auditors in private companies. The corporate affairs ministry has issued four separate notifications relaxing the norms for the four categories of companies under the Companies Act, 2013. The notifications have introduced as many as 16 changes or clarifications related to private companies and around 30 for government companies.

The ministry has said that Section 188 of the Act, which requires a company to get consent from its Board of directors before entering into a related-party transaction even for activities such as sale, purchase or supply of any goods or materials and leasing of property and which deals with related party transactions, would not be applicable to private companies.

The corporate affairs ministry, regarding to rules for accepting deposits, has said that it would not be applicable on a private entity which accepts from its members’ monies not exceeding 100 per cent of aggregate of the paid-up share capital and free reserves. While, with respect to government companies, the ministry has made close to 30 changes related to various requirements. These pertain to Board evaluation, appointment of directors and conduct of annual general meetings (AGMs).

The government has also eased various norms for government-owned companies, nidhi and not-for-profit companies covered under Section 8 of the Companies Act which have been set up with the aim of cultivating thrift and savings habit amongst its members.
