 NOTE

According to sub-section (2A), if a public company having a share capital, whether or not it has issued a prospectus inviting the public to subscribe for its shares, wishes at any time to commence a new business, it will have to comply with the requirements stipulated in this section.

The Memorandum of Association states the Objects for which the company has been incorporated. Any business carried on by the company must be covered in the Objects Clause in the memorandum. Likewise, any new business which the company proposes to carry on must be covered in the Objects Clause in the memorandum. If the Objects Clause does not include it, the same must be first altered to have it included.

The new business should not be germane to the business of the company. Germane means relevant (to a subject under consideration), closely akin, having a close relationship. In the DCA's view, the criterion to decide whether compliance with the requirements under sub-section (2A) is necessary or not, is whether the new activity is germane to the original business or not. In case the reply is no such compliance is necessary and vice versa.

A company which was incorporated after 15 October, 1965, i.e. the date of commencement of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1965, has the Objects Clause in its memorandum of association divided into three classes

(a)

Main objects;

(b)

Objects incidental or ancillary to the attainment of the main objects; and

(c)

Other objects.

In the case of such a company, any business commenced by the company immediately on its incorporation and carried on must be covered in the Main Objects. Any new business a company proposes to commence must be covered in the Other Objects in the memorandum. Thus, if such a company proposes to commence any business which is included in the Other Objects, the company must comply with the requirements of sub-section (2A), before the business is commenced. Before commencement of such new business at any time, the requirements under sub-section (2A) must be complied with.
