Good information

Dear sir,

If a company incorporated on 02.02.2015 can we prepare financials for 02.02.2015 to 31.03.2016.

if YES, What is the date of 1st AGM.

Kindly share the process for change in the financial year.

Dear Prasanth,

As per Section 2 (41), Company can have it financial year from 02.02.2015 to 31.03.2016.

As per Section 96 (1), in case of the first annual general meeting, it shall be held within a period of nine months from the date of closing of the first financial year of the company. so that Company can hold its first AGM on or before 31.12.2016 after closing  financial year on 31.03.2016.

Dear Fellow members,

Here is an exception for following 31, March ending as financila year

Provided that on an application made by a company or body corporate, which is

a holding company or a subsidiary of a company incorporated outside India and is

required to follow a different financial year for consolidation of its accounts outside

India, the Tribunal may, if it is satisfied, allow any period as its financial year, whether

or not that period is a year.

Which means if  foreign holding company following the calender year as financial year and indian company accounts are going to consolidate into holding company then you can make an application to CLB to follow different financial year.

Regards.
