Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

v.
REGISTRAR OF COMPANIES DELHI & HARYANA [NCLAT]
Company Appeal (AT) No.216 of 2018
A.I.S. Cheema & Balvinder Singh. [Decided on 28/01/2019]
Companies Act, 2013 – Section 248 – Striking of name of the company documents could not
prove that the company was working – Whether name to be restores
Decision: Appeal dismissed
Brief facts:
The name of the appellant company was struck off by the Registrar of Companies, as the company
had not been carrying on business or nor in operations for two immediately preceding financial
years and the company had not obtained the status of dormant company under Section 455 of the
Companies Act, 2013
The appellant filed the appeal before NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal) claiming that it
had not been served with Notice under Section 248(1) of the Act and the Registrar of Companies
(ROC) had proceeded to issue notice under Section 248(5) of the Act and the name of the
appellant company was then struck off. The appellant claimed that the company had been doing
business and was in operation and audited financial statements for the year financial year 2012-13
to FY 2016-17 were filed.
25. The NCLT considered the case put up before it as well as the documents and came to the
conclusion that the appellant company failed to prove that it was carrying on business or was in
operation when its name was struck off and dismissed the appeal which was filed before it.
Against the dismissal the present appeal has been filed and the same claim is put up by the
appellant referring to the documents which were filed before NCLT.
Reason:
• Appellant company had not filed financial statements from the financial year ending 31.3.2004
till 31.3.2011.
• The balance sheet and annual return was filled for year ending 31.03.2012 and no filling was
done after that.
• Notice was duly issued to the company on 21.03.2017
• According to the ROC the appellant did not respond to the notice and further steps to strike off
the company were taken.
• After such notice the appellant made no effort to move the ROC and put up its case that the
appellant was in business or in operation when the name was struck off.
26. • Thus, they were not accepting the contention that opportunity to the appellant was not given.
Regarding the merits of the claim that the appellant was in business or in operation the documents
filed before us include two income tax returns for the assessment years 2016-17 and 2017-18.
• The return for 2016-17 claims that the gross total income of the year was Rs.504 and the income
tax return for 2017-18 claims that the gross total income was Rs.1473/-. If the invoices are seen,
the seller is shown as Kanodia Hosiery Mills and buyer is Kanodia Knit (P) Ltd. If the address of
the seller is perused in these invoices it is 35, North Basti Harphool Singh, Sadar Thana Road,
Delhi. This is the same address of the appellant, Kanodia Knits Pvt Ltd, also.
• How much weight such documents should be given is a foregone consequence. They were not
impressed by such documents to claim that the company was in business or in operation. Perusal
of the impugned order shows that the NCLT considered the documents placed before it.
Final Interpretation of Case
Having heard the appellant, and seeing the documents when they have considered the above findings
and observations of the NCLT, they do not find any reason to differ from NCLT. There is no
substance in this appeal. The appeal is rejected. No order as to costs.
27. Conclusion
The Companies Act, 2013 has introduced certain changes and
new ideas which will have to be adopted by companies as well
the society governed by this act. Though there are no two
opinions regarding the boldness and appropriateness of the new
step taken by the Government of India to overhaul the outdated
companies act of 1956, but the effectiveness of this step is
debatable as not all the aims and goals set forward by the
legislature. This was so because on paper, the provisions
seemed very effective but various difficulties were faced while
implementing these provisions.
