Dear Friend
Section 41(2) provides that only a person can be member of a company who has agreed in writing to become a member and whose name is entered in the register of members.
As per Department’s Circular No. 4/72, dated 9-7-1972, it has been clarified that “a firm” not being a person, can not be registered as a member of a company.
