Comprehensive revision of the Companies Act

      In October 2003, it was decided to take up comprehensive revision of
Companies Act, 1956 in order to bring new law in tune with the changing
requirements. The exercise was started with the preparation of the Concept
Paper on new Company Law and its dissemination including on the website of
the Ministry to seek public comments. Thereafter an Expert Committee headed
by Dr J. J. Irani, Director, Tata Sons Limited was set up by the Ministry which
included representatives from concerned Ministries/Departments, regulators,
industry bodies, corporates and professionals as Members/invitees.          The
Committee submitted its report to the Government on 31st May, 2005.


      Pursuant to the recommendations of Dr J.J. Irani Committee on New
Company Law and consultations with concerned stakeholders including
concerned Ministries/Departments, the Companies Bill, 2008 was prepared, got
vetted from Law Ministry and introduced in the Lok Sabha on 23-10-2008 with
the object to consolidate and amend the law relating to companies.


      The Companies Bill, 2008 as introduced in the Lok Sabha was referred to
the Department Related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance for
examination and report. However, as per Article 107(5) of the Constitution of
India, the Companies Bill, 2008 lapsed due to dissolution of the 14th Lok Sabha.
The Government (M/o Corporate Affairs) has now re-introduced the Companies
Bill, 2008 as Companies Bill, 2009 on 3rd August, 2009 in the Lok Sabha.
