Hi Ravi,
I am answering your second question :-
Though some companies use the word ‘corporation’ in their name, Corporation in fact is a different term.
Generally we can say that ‘Corporation’ is a legal entity, which is, established under particular law or statute (apart from Company Act) e.g. Bombay Municipal Corporation (set up under BMC Act) or Pune Municipal Corporation or Maharashtra Krishna Valley Devlp Corp (set up under MKVDC Act). They are governed by their own sets of rules & regulations. Company Act is not relevant over there.
Last … while filing their Income Tax Return, they are treated as ‘Company’. However, it has nothing to do with Companies Act, 1956.
