| Company Law Settlement Scheme (CLSS), 2011 |
| After the great success of CLSS, 2010, Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) has again introduced Company Law Settlement Scheme, 2011. Under this scheme, companies can regularize their filings by paying only 25% of the Additional Fees for delayed filing. But, unlike CLSS 2010, the current scheme covers only Annual filing documents (i.e. e-form 23AC & ACA, 20B, 21A and 66).
Hurry the scheme is open only from 12th August, 2011 to 31st October, 2011.
…………and you thought discounts are only during promotional offers or stock-clearance sales!!

| Prosecution of Directors – Role of ROC |
| ODI rings a bell in our minds – Overseas Direct Investment if you are a businessmen or professional and One Day International, if you are a cricket buff. Heard of “OID”….Officer in Default?
Well, MCA has issued a Master Circular on director as “Officer in Default” under the Companies Act, 1956. Though this is a detailed checklist of verifications to be made by Registrar of Companies (ROC) while deciding a Director as “Officer in Default”, entrepreneurs, professionals and others who flash fancy business cards designated as “Director” would do well to read this thoroughly. The emphasis is on “Board Process” which is unfortunately missing in many corporates leading to mis-governance and scams.

| Right to Answer Sheet |
| From “Right to Education” to “Right to Answer Sheet”, the Supreme Court has the last word.
Until now students knew how many marks
they have secured in an examination. Thanks to the Supreme
Court of India, they now have access to “how the marks have
been awarded”. In a far reaching judgment, the apex court has
upheld Kolkata High Court decision that students aggrieved by
the marks awarded to them in the exams can now make an
application under Right to Information Act, 2005 to obtain
their evaluated answer sheet. |
