INTRODUCTION
The Companies Act of 1956 sets down rules for the establishment of both public
and private companies. The most commonly used corporate form is the limited
company, unlimited companies being relatively uncommon.

MEANING OF COMPANY

In common usage, ‘Company’ means an association of persons associated for some


common purpose. The common object may be business, charity, research etc. The
persons are united for achieving a common objective, normally, for earning profits,
which are shared by the investors.
Definition of Company: Section 3 (1) (i) of the Companies Act, 1956 defines a
company as:

“A company registered and formed under this Act or an existing company.”

The above definition does not give clear description about the company. The
definition provided by Haney gives a better view about the essential elements of a
company. According to Haney,

“A company is an incorporated association which is an artificial person


created for by law, having a separate entity, with a perpetual succession
and a common seal.”

The characteristics of the company give a better picture about the essential
elements mentioned in the above definition. Let us discuss those characteristics
that describe the company, comprehensively.

CHARACTERISTICS OR ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF A COMPANY


1. Registration: A company is to be compulsorily registered under the Companies
Act.
2. Artificial Person: A company is an artificial person. “Company is an
artificial person, invisible, intangible and existing only in the eyes of law.” It is
created under the law, not itself a human being. It is called a person as it is clothed
with certain rights and obligations.
3. Separate Legal Entity: A company can enter into contracts with its directors,
its shareholders and outsiders. It functions through its board of directors. A
company is a distinct person, with its own independent identity.

One Man Company: When a single person holds almost all the shares of the
company, it is called ‘One Man Company’. Such a company has a legal
personality, if it complies with the necessary requirements of registration
(Solomon Vs A. Solomon & Co. Ltd.). Such companies may be public or private
companies. Usually, they are private companies.

Solomon Vs A. Solomon & Co. Ltd.: In Solomon Vs A. Solomon & Co. Ltd.
(1897) AC 22, it has been held that in common law, a company is a ‘legal person
or has a legal entity separate from its members and is capable of surviving beyond
the lives of its members.’
In this case, one Solomon was a shoe manufacturer. He incorporated a company
named Solomon and Co. Ltd. He took over the entire business of a running
concern. Solomon and the seven subscribers to the memorandum were he and his
family members. Solomon and his two sons were the Directors of the Company.
The business of the company was transferred for £30,000. Solomon took 20,000
share of 1 £ each and debentures worth 10,000 in consideration.
The Company went into liquidation, within a year. On winding up, the unsecured
creditors contended that the company was not having independent existence as
Solomon was the Managing Director of the company and the entire company was
under his control. They further contended that Solomon was holding majority of
the shares and therefore, the company was merely a sham. Their contention was
that the limited firm was only a guise to conceal the real identity of the persons
who own. However, it was held that Solomon and Co. Ltd. fulfilled all the
requirements of the legislature. Further, it was held that the company cannot be
equated with the members comprising it. The company was not the agent of
Solomon. It was therefore, treated as a company, distinct and independent
corporation.
A company has, therefore, a separate legal existence, and is altogether a
different person even from its directors and members.

Corporate Veil: On incorporation, a company assumes a separate personality of


its own, called the ‘Corporate veil’. On incorporation, the veil is drawn between
the company and its members. The advantages of the incorporation –separate
entity – were allowed only to those who make an honest use of the ‘company’.
Lifting Corporate Veil: There may be circumstances in which the privileges of
‘separate entity, may be misused. In such cases, the court, may disregard the
corporate veil. Ignoring separate entity or overlooking corporate personality is
known as the phenomenon of lifting corporate veil’. Lifting corporate veil is an
exception to the decision in Solomon’s case. In the case of dishonest and
fraudulent use of the facility of corporation, the law lifts the corporate veil and
identifies the persons who are behind the scene and responsible for the perpetration
of the fraud. (Life Insurance Corporation of India Vs. Escorts Ltd. (1986).
Overlooking the corporate personality or separate entity is known as “the
phenomenon of lifting the corporate veil.”

4. Common Seal: Common seal is the signature of the company. As company is


an artificial person, it is not bestowed with the body of a human being. The
company has a separate legal existence through its common seal. The use of
common seal is provided in the articles of association of the company.

5. Separate Property: A company can open a bank account in its name. It can
exercise the entire powers incidental to the attainment of the objects of the
company. A company can enter into contracts, through its board of directors.
Shareholders are not, in the eyes of the law, part owners of the company.

6. Company to Sue and be Sued: A company can sue and be sued in its name.
The company’s right to sue arises as and when some loss is caused to the company.
In case of breach of performance by any third party, the company can sue the third
party in its name.

TYPES OF COMPANIES

Companies can be classified into three categories, based on their mode of


incorporation.

(1) Chartered Companies: A chartered company is created under a charter,


granted by the king or queen in exercise of the powers vested in the crown. A
chartered company is regulated by its charter. For example, the East India
Company has come into existence by the grant of Royal charter. The Companies
Act is not applicable to them. Since independence, chartered companies have no
place in India.

(2) Statutory Companies: These are the companies incorporated under a Special
Act, passed by the Central or State Legislatures. Statutory companies are like
Reserve Bank of India, Life Insurance Corporation of India, Food Corporation of
India or State Bank of India, which are created by the special acts of parliament or
legislature. The statutory bodies are governed by the Act under which they are
constituted or formed. Companies Act is not totally applicable to statutory
companies. The provisions of Companies Act are applicable only to the extent they
are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Special Act. They do not have either
Memorandum or Articles of Association. The word “Limited” is not a part of their
name.

(3) Registered Companies: Apart from statutory government owned concerns, the
most prevalent form of large business enterprises is a company, incorporated with
limited liability. Companies limited by guarantee and unlimited companies are
relatively uncommon. A company can be a public or a private company and could
have limited or unlimited liability. A company can be limited by shares or
guarantee.

(A) Company Limited by Shares

In the case of company limited by shares, the personal liability of a member is


limited to the face value of the share or amount unpaid on the share, whichever is
lower.

(i) Private Companies


A private company is defined under Section 3 (i) (iii) under the Act. It has the
following characteristics:

• Right to Transfer: The right to transfer shares is restricted.


• Number of Shares: The maximum number of its shareholders is limited to 50
(excluding employees) and the minimum number of shares is 2.
• Invitation to Public: No offer can be made to the public to subscribe for its
shares and debentures.
• Regulation: Private companies are relatively less regulated than public
companies as they deal with relatively smaller amounts of public money.

Deemed Public Company: The concept of deemed public companies was


introduced in the Companies Act to check the misuse of private companies. A
private company is deemed to become a public company in the following
situations:
• When 25 percent or more of the private company’s paid-up capital is held by one
or more public company.
• The private company holds 25 percent or more of the paid-up share capital of a
public company.
• The private company accepts or renews deposits from the public.
• The private company’s average annual turnover is not less than Rs. 10 crores
during the relevant period of three years.
The above provisions of Section 43(A) shall not apply on or after 31st December,
2000. Deemed concept of a public company on account of the above four factors is
abolished.

(ii) Public Companies

A public company is defined as one which is not a private company. In other


words, to a public company the restrictions of a private company do not apply.

(B) Company Limited by Guarantee

In the case of company limited by guarantee, the personal liability is limited by a


pre-decided nominated amount. This guaranteed amount is fixed by the members
and specified in the memorandum of association, which they respectively
undertake to pay, in the event of the winding up of the company. The guaranteed
amount can be called upon by the company only at the time of winding up, if the
liabilities exceed its assets.
(C) Unlimited Company
In the case of an unlimited company, the liability of its members is unlimited. Its
members are liable to contribute to the debts of the company in proportion of their
respective interests.

(4) Foreign Companies: A foreign company is a company incorporated outside


India and under the law of that country. Foreign investors can enter into the
business in India either as a foreign company in the form of a liaison
office/representative office, a project office and a branch office. It has to register
with Registrar of Companies (ROC), New Delhi, within 30 days of setting up a
place of business in India or as an Indian company in the form of a Joint Venture
and wholly owned subsidiary. For opening of the foreign company, specific
approval of Reserve Bank of India is also required. The foreign company must
conspicuously exhibit on the outside of every office or business the name of the
company, whether it is a public company or a private company and where
incorporated. Where 50% of the paid up of share capital of the foreign company is
held by Indian citizens and /or companies incorporated in India, the foreign
company is treated as an Indian company with respect to its Indian business. This
is designed to protect the interests of the Indian citizens and Indian companies as
substantial portion of their share capital is raised from them.

FORMATION OF COMPANY

The whole process of formation of a company is divided into four steps for
convenience.
A. Promotion of Company
B. Incorporation or Registration of Company
C. Floatation of Company
D. Commencement of Business

Steps in Formation of Company

INCORPORATION OR REGISTRATION OF COMPANY

For a public company, the minimum number of members is seven, while it is two
in the case of a private company. The promoter has to gather the required number
for subscribing to the Memorandum of Association.

The following are the steps for the incorporation of a company:

1. Application for Availability of Name: A company cannot be registered in the


name of an existing company. It also cannot be registered in a name, which is
undesirable in the opinion of the Central Government. Therefore, it is necessary for
the promoters to find out the availability of the name of the company from the
Registrar of Companies. The first step in the formation of a company is the
approval of the name by the Registrar of Companies (ROC) in the State/Union
Territory in which the company is to be registered. This approval is provided
subject to certain conditions. For instance, there should not be an existing company
by the same name. Further, the last words in the name are required to be “Private
Ltd.” in the case of a private company and “Limited” in the case of a Public
Company.

Finalisation of name: The application for approval of name should mention at


least four suitable names of the proposed company, in order of preference. The
ROC, generally, informs the applicant within seven days from the date of
submission of the application, whether or not any of the names applied for is
available. Once a name is approved, it is valid for a period of six months, within
which time Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association together with
miscellaneous documents should be filed. If one is unable to do so, an application
may be made for renewal of name, by paying additional fees. After obtaining the
name approval, it normally takes approximately two to three weeks to incorporate
a company, depending on where the company is registered.

2. Filing of Documents: The following three documents are required to be filed


with the Registrar of Companies of the State in which the registered office of the
company is to be situated:

(i) Memorandum of Association,


(ii) Articles of Association, and
(iii) Agreement with the company for the proposed appointment of the managing
director, whole-time director or manager.
The above documents (i) and (ii) are required to be signed by the seven persons in
the case of the public company and two persons in the case of private company.

3. Payment of Stamp Duty and Filing Fee: The company has to pay the
necessary stamp duty and filing fee, according to the authorized share capital of the
company.

4. Declaration of Compliance of Act and Rules: A declaration that the


requirements of the Act and the rules framed there under have been complied. This
declaration is to be signed by an advocate of the Supreme Court or High Court or
attorney or a pleader having the right to appear before High Court. Alternatively,
this declaration can be signed by a Company Secretary or Chartered Accountant in
whole time-practice, who is engaged in the formation of a company or a person
named in the articles as a director. This declaration is also to be filed with the
Registrar of Companies, where the registered office of the company would be
located. - Section 33(2).

5. Additional Requirement, in Case of a Public Company: The following


further requirements are to be complied with:

(i) A list of persons who have consented to act as directors.


(ii) Written consent of the directors to act in that capacity.
(iii) An undertaking by the directors to take up and pay for the qualification shares.

6. Certificate of Incorporation or Registration: If the Registrar is satisfied that


the requirementsunder the Act for the purpose of registration of a company have
been complied with, he shall register the company and issue a certification of
incorporation, under his hand and seal.

ADVANTAGES OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

1. Corporate Existence: After certificate of incorporation, company obtains


independent existence. The company enjoys a distinct legal personality. It becomes
capable of functioning, independently, as a corporate individual, distinct from its
members.

2. Liability: The liability of the members is limited to the extent of the nominal
amount of the shares subscribed. In the case of a company limited by guarantee,
the liability of the member is limited to the amount guaranteed by him.
The liability of partners in a partnership firm is unlimited. However, the liability of
the members in a limited company is limited to the face value of the shares held by
him. In case, the face value of a share is Rs. 10 and an individual holds 100 shares,
his total liability, at any time, is only Rs. 1,000. If he has already paid, Rs. 400, his
balance liability is limited to Rs. 600 only. Even, in the event of winding up of the
company and the company does not have sufficient assets to pay the total
liabilities, still, the individual member cannot be called upon to pay beyond Rs.
600 as he has already paid Rs. 400. In case, the member has paid the total amount
of his liability Rs. 1,000, he has no further liability to the company, at all. The
novel idea of limited liability has encouraged the people to invest in a company,
with limited liability, unlike in a partnership firm.

3. Transferability of Shares: Shares in a company can be transferred easily,


without the consent of other members of the company. The greatest advantage of
company is transferability of shares, unlike in a partnership firm. In a partnership
firm, without the consent of the other partners, a partner cannot transfer his share
to others. A member can transfer his shareholding, without the consent of the other
members, in the manner provided by the Articles Association of the company.
However, there are certain restrictions on the transferability of shares, in a private
limited company. Certain restrictions can be imposed in a private limited company,
but not in a public limited company about the transferability of shares.
In a public limited company, Articles of Association states the procedure to
be followed, but cannot impose any restriction in respect of transferability
of shares.
4. Perpetual Existence and Succession: A company incorporated never dies. The
members of the company change with the transfer of shares. The death or
insolvency of the members does not affect the corporate existence of the company.
Only on winding up of the company, it ceases to exist. Prof. Grover in his book on
Modern Company Law says that “A company continues to exist even if all the
members are dead. During the war, all the members of one private company, while
in general meeting, were killed by a bomb. But, the company survived. Not even a
hydrogen bomb could destroy it.”

5. Members and the Company: A company enjoys separate legal entity. So, it
can enter into contracts with its members and sue them in the ordinary way.

6. Separate Property: Capital of the company is contributed by its members.


However, company owns the assets in its name and the members do not have any
ownership right on the property of the company.

7. Capacity to Sue and be Sued: A company being a body corporate, it can sue
and be sued in its own name.

EFFECT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

The certification of incorporation is conclusive evidence about registration


and compliance of all the legal requirements. Date of certificate of
incorporation is date of birth of a company.

Once a company is registered, the certificate of incorporation cannot be


challenged, though there may be irregularities prior to registration. A company
obtains separate legal existence only after it is registered under the Companies Act.
By virtue of this legal existence, the company comes into being as a separate
person, distinct from the persons who form it. The company becomes a body
corporate, with perpetual succession. Once company is registered, the only method
to end it is through the process of winding up. The certificate of incorporation
cannot be cancelled by the Registrar of Companies, even if irregular.

FLOATATION OF COMPANY

Once the Certificate of Incorporation is received, it means the company is


registered. Then the next step is to raise the required finances for running the
company. The company is ready for floatation.
Floatation means raising the required finances for commencing and
carrying on the business, satisfactorily.

In other words, the company can go ahead, with raising capital sufficient to
commence thebusiness and carry on it, satisfactorily.

Prospectus & ‘Statement in lieu of Prospectus’: A private company is prohibited


from raising funds from the public. It can arrange the capital, privately, from its
friends and relatives. In the case of public companies, it has the option to raise the
funds from the public or through private sources, without raising funds from the
public. In case, it decides to invite the public to subscribe to its capital, the public
limited company has to issue prospectus. In case, the funds are arranged privately,
the public company has to file a ‘Statement in lieu of Prospectus’ with the
Registrar of Companies.

CERTIFICATE OF COMMENCEMENT OF BUSINESS


A public company, having share capital, cannot commence the business, without
obtaining the certificate of commencement of business. The certificate of
commencement of business can be obtained, only after completing the floatation
process. In other words, a public limited company has to file either prospectus or
statement in lieu of prospectus and comply with the required legal requirements,
relating to the capital requirements. Thereafter only, Certificate of Commencement
of Business is issued by ROC.
A Public Company, having share capital, cannot commence the business,
without obtaining the Certificate of Commencement of Business.

However, a private limited company can commence the business, without


obtaining the ‘Certificate of Commencement of Business’. There is no need for a
private company to obtain Certificate of Commencement of Business. After
obtaining the Certificate of Incorporation, it can immediately commence business.
It is the privilege a private limited company enjoys.

MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION
Public Documents: Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association are
public documents. Any one who deals with the company are presumed to be aware
of the contents of those documents. Memorandum of Association is a document,
which contains the fundamental conditions regarding constitution, objects or
activities and powers of the company. It is a charter of the company. It is a
principal document without which a company cannot be registered. It is a life-
giving document.

Memorandum of Association is a document based on which the relations of


the company is governed with outsides and members of the company.

Purposes: Memorandum of Association serves the following purposes:


(A) It contains the fundamental conditions on which the company is formed.
(B) It sets the boundaries of the company.
Lord Macmillan has rightly observed that the purpose of Memorandum of
Association is to enable the shareholders, creditors and those who deal with the
company to know the permitted range of the enterprise. (Egyptian Salt and Soda
Co. Ltd. Vs Port Said Salt Association Ltd. -1931).

CONTENTS OF MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION


According to Section 13 of the Act, the Memorandum of Association of every
company should contain the following contents:

(A) Name Clause: Once the name of the company is approved and registered by
the Registrar of Companies, the name of the company must be painted or affixed
outside of every office or place of business. The name and address of registered
office of the company has to be mentioned in letter-heads, business letters, notices
and common seal of the company.

(B) Registered Office: Every company must have a registered office from the date
of commencement of business, or 30th day of the incorporation date, whichever is
earlier. All the notices have to be sent to this address.

(C) Objects Clause: The objects clause of the company indicates the sphere of
activities and powers of the company.

The purpose of the objects clause is two-fold:


(i) To inform the members and creditors of the company in what kind of business
their capital and funds may be used, and
(ii) To inform the persons dealing with the company what its powers are.
The objects are divided into two parts. Now, it is compulsory to specify in clear
terms the main and other objects of the company.

(i) The Main objects to be pursed by the company on its incorporation and the
ancillary objects incidental to the attainment of the main objects. The ancillary
objects must have reasonable proximity or connection with the main objects.
(ii) Other objects: These are the objects which are not included in the above. A
company is prohibited from commencing any new business, though stated in the
other objects, without passing the special resolution passed in the general meeting.

Doctrine of Ultra Vires

‘Ultra’ means ‘beyond. ‘Vires’ means ‘powers’. So, the term “Ultra vires” means
‘beyond the powers of the Company’. A company exists only to carry on the
objects which are expressly stated in the objects clause. It means the company can
perform those objects only. It can also do such acts, which are incidental or
consequential to the specific objects of the company. A trading company has
implied power to borrow and this power need not be stated, separately. This
doctrine has been first explained in the leading case of Ashbury Railway
Carriage Co. Ltd. Vs Riche LR HL 653 (1875). The object of the company as
contained in the Memorandum of Association has been “to make, sell or lend on
hire, railway carriages and wagons of all kinds ….. to carry on the business of
mechanical engineers and contractors. The directors of the company, however,
have contracted for financing the construction of a railway line in Belgium. The
company has endorsed the act of directors by passing a special resolution in the
general meeting. However, the contract has been held to be ultra vires of the
objects of the company because the word ‘general contractors’ does not authorize
the company to make contract of every description. The doctrine has been
confirmed by the Supreme Court in Lakshmana Sami Mudaliar Vs LIC of India
1963 AIR Sc 1185.
An act done outside the express or implied objects is ultra vires. The ultra vires
acts are null and void ab initio.

The object of the ultra vires doctrine is to protect the interests of the
investors and creditors by ensuring that the company does not invest or
utilize the money in those acts, which is not contemplated by the
shareholders or creditors of the company.
Effect of Ultra Vires Acts

1. Void ab initio: These acts are void from the beginning.

2. Injunction: A member of the company can bring an injunction (order of the


court refraining to do) against the company to prevent from proceeding with the
ultra vires act.

3. Personal Liability of Directors: The directors of the company may be


personally held liable to outsiders for those ultra vires acts. This is made on the
ground of breach of warranty or authority.

4. No Ratification: If an act is ultra vires the company, it does not create legal
relationship. It is violation of the law and diversion of the assets of the company
to purposes, not contemplated by the members and creditors of the company. As it
is an act outside the powers of the company, even the whole body of shareholders
cannot ratify it and make it binding on the company.

5. Company Can Neither Sue or be Sued: The company cannot sue the
contracting party. Equally, the contracting party cannot sue the company.

Various Types of Ultra Vires Acts: It is necessary to distinguish the acts, outside
the powers of the company and Board of Directors.beyond the scope of
Memorandum of Association cannot be ratified by the company, even by the total
body of the shareholders as they are outside the powers of the company. However,
if the acts are only beyond the powers of the directors, but within the powers of the
company, those acts can be ratified by the company.

(D) Capital Clause: In the case of a company having a share capital, the capital
clause has to state the nominal or authorized capital of the company. The nominal
capital is divided into different classes of shares. The capital clause has to state the
values of the different classes of shares such as equity share capital and preference
share capital and their division into shares of a fixed amount.
In the case of a company limited by guarantee, the amount promised by each
member to be contributed by them in the event of winding up of the company, is to
be mentioned.

(E) Liability Clause: The liability of the members is limited to the extent of the
shares subscribed by the members of the company, in the case of a company
having share capital. It means no member can be called upon to pay more than the
nominal value of the shares held by him or the amount remaining unpaid. In case
the shares are fully paid, the liability is nil. In the case of a company by guarantee,
the liability is limited to the extent of guarantee given by the members. This can be
called only when the liabilities exceed the assets of the company.

(F) Subscription or Association Clause: In the case of a public company, at least,


there must be seven subscribers although two are sufficient in the case of a private
company. All the subscribers must sign the Memorandum of Association. Each
subscriber must take at least one share in a company. Normally, the declaration of
association reads like this “We, the several persons whose names, addresses and
occupations are subscribed, are desirous of being formed into a company in
pursuance of the Memorandum of Association and respectively agree to take the
number of shares in the capital of the company, set opposite
of our respective names.” After incorporation, no subscriber can withdraw his
name on any ground whatsoever.

ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Articles of Association lays down the rules and regulations framed for
the purpose of its internal management of the affairs of the company.

They facilitate the way for carrying out the objects, specified in the Memorandum
of Association.

Relationship between Memorandum of Association and Articles of


Association

1. Ranking: Articles of Association is subordinate and controlled by the


Memorandum of Association.

2. Subordinate: The Articles of Association are subordinate to Memorandum of


Association. Articles of Association cannot contain any provision which is
inconsistent with the Memorandum of Association. Articles of Association may the
supplement the Memorandum of Association.

3. Scope: The Memorandum of Association lays down the scope or powers of the
company, while the Articles of Association govern the way in which the objects of
the company can be carried out. As regards the contents, Articles of Association
resembles a partnership deed.
Adoption of Table A: A public company limited by shares may have its own
Articles of Association. In the absence of its own Articles of Association, the
company can adopt Table A. In other words, preparation of Articles of Association
is not compulsory. Even if Table A is adopted, if the company’s Articles of
Association is silent on any matter, provisions of Table A would be applicable.

Contents of Articles of Association: Some of the contents of Articles of


Association are here under:

(i) Allotment of shares


(ii) Procedure for Transfer of Shares
(iii) Powers of Directors
(iv) Forfeiture of shares
(v) Common seal of the company
(vi) Accounts and audit
(vii) Voting rights and proxies

The Articles of Association spells out the way the affairs of the company would be
conducted.

ALTERATION OF MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION AND


ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Alteration of Memorandum of Association is much difficult and strictly regulated.


Articles of Association can be easily altered by passing a special resolution in the
general meeting.
