General Rule (under Company Law):
Once a dividend is declared at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), based on the recommendation of the Board of Directors, it becomes a debt payable by the company to its shareholders

But what happens if the company suffers an unexpected loss, such as a fire destroying its office? Can the dividend still be revoked in that case

Does the appointment of a Whole-Time Company Secretary (KMP) as an Internal Auditor under Section 138 of the Companies Act, 2013, violate the independence and objectivity principles mandated for internal audits, considering their dual role under Secretarial Standard-2 and SEBI (LODR) Regulations for listed entities?

What are the forms to be filed on the MCA portal after filing INC 20A

Hello Experts, a private limited company was incorporated on 24.07.2024. However, they approached me as they want me to be appointed as their Statutory Auditor for a term of 5 years from now. However, on seeing their masterdata, I came to know that they didn't appointed First Auditor till today i.e as of 03.05.2025.

Now, my query is, Shall I be appointed as their first auditor till the conclusion of first AGM and later continue as their Statutory Auditor or Shall I be appointed as Statutory Auditor directly for a term of 5 Years from now without appointing myself as first auditor ? What are the Penal Proceedings for not appointing First Auditor of a Company ?

Thanks in Advance.

Please clarify the forms if any to be filed on the MCA Portal for allotment of shares after the commencement of business for a newly incorporated company.

Thank you !

Respected experts, two of my friends Incorporated a PVT LTD company in 2024. Right from the incorporation ,no business was commenced and my friends (directors of such company) were underwent several difficulties between each other and left that company without any further ROC filings or actions. Now my query is, what are the required filings/further actions to be taken by them regarding the Closure of such Company. Are there any consequences to be faced by them?

Other point to be noted is : One of such friends incorporated another company with his mother and carrying the business. Is there any negative impact on his directorship in the newly incorporated PVT company without closing the first incorporated company(mentioned above) ?

Thanks in Advance
