Applicability of section 299

In India, to my knowledge, we dont have any provisions for the incorporation of Company with only one Director.

Provisions for the One man company are provided in Companies Bill, which is yet to settel.

General Disclosure of section 299 is the annual disclosure which is to be taken from each director in the month of march every year in form 24AA, mentioning therein the names of the Companies and the nature of interest.

Minimum number of directors
Every public company ( other than a deemed public company ) must have at least three directors. Every other company must have at least two directors.

The directors of a company collectively are referred to as the "Board of directors" or "Board". Only individuals can be appointed as directors. No body corporate, association or firm can be appointed director of a Company.

So it cant be possible to have only one director in the Co.

Thanx for the above reply. I know that the concept of single director company in India is not yet started.

But I m little more confused under this section because every interested director has to give his disclosour to the Board about his interest in the contract.

U/S section 299 (6) the director holding more than 2% shares in the other campanies is treated as interested director. But in a case a director of XYZ Ltd who holding only 1% shares in the ABC company doesn't require to give any disclosour because he doesn't cover u/s 299 (6). But the contract entered by the XYZ with the ABC the holding of shares of director in ABC Ltd company raised to 3%.

Whether the section 299 is applicable or not or whether the director contravention to this section.

Please clarify me........................

But the contract entered by the XYZ with the ABC the holding of shares of director in ABC Ltd company raised to 3%.

Hello!

In that case one provision is given. Either u can give general disclosure or u can disclose the interest of director in the BM in which that particular contract or agreement is to be decided or in any BM which would occur immediately when that director got interested. Refer 299 (2) for detailed explanation.......

Please povide more details. As i am unable to understand how director shareholding can be increased if contract is going to be executed between ABC and XYZ.

Mr. Garg I mean to say after the contract entered by the XYZ Ltd with the ABC Ltd one of the director who currently hold 1% shares in ABC Ltd buy more shares in ABC Ltd and raised his holding upto 3% in ABC Ltd after the contract made by two companies.

Now whether the section 299 is applicable. Is he required to give any disclosour to Board.......................

Mr Kumar

Upto best of my understanding, Section 299 becomes applicable and he need to give disclosure and general disclosure as well.
