It further provided the guideline of revoking 46 penal provisions in the following manner:-<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li id=\"motives\">Re-categorising of 23 offences out of 66 compoundable offences to in-house adjudication framework wherein penalty will be levied by an adjudication officer.<\/li>\n<li>Omitting 7 compoundable offences.<\/li>\n<li>Restricting 11 compoundable offences to fine only (exclusion of imprisonment).<\/li>\n<li>Recommending 5 offences to be dealt with an alternative framework.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Main Motives of Carrying out the Companies Amendment Act 2020<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>One of the primary motives for the government to bring out this amendment was to increase the ease of doing business in the country.<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0Ministry of Corporate Affairs set up the CLCs, and one of the main motives was to decriminalise different form of offences under the Companies Act 2013.<\/li>\n<li>Through this consultation and recommendation, the committee wanted to decriminalise more than 46 offences under the Companies Act 2013.<\/li>\n<li>Previously in the 2019 amendment, 16 offences under the Companies Act 2013 was already decriminalised.<\/li>\n<li>Apart from these, the amendment specifically focussed on the requirement of Independent Directors. Under this amendment, there were several recommendations that independent directors receive more remuneration due to the number of responsibilities they undertake.<\/li>\n<li>Due to this amendment, the amount of remuneration received by independent directors would be determined as per schedule V of the act. However, the amount of remuneration fixed under the act would not be indefinite.<\/li>\n<li>This amendment would also permit Indian companies to list their securities in foreign stock exchanges. Through this amendment, both listed and unlisted companies would secure the benefits of listing their securities in an overseas stock exchange. Before, this procedure for listing securities in international stock exchanges was time-consuming.<\/li>\n<li id=\"highlights\">Apart from this, the Companies Amendment Act has also brought out a new provision dealing with producer companies. This was omitted during the introduction of the Companies Act 2013. However, previously this provision was present under the Companies Act 1956.<\/li>\n<li>Under the Companies Amendment Act, the requirement for having producer companies would be present under a special amendment act under a special provision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Major Highlights of the Companies (Amendment) Bill 2020<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While several changes has been proposed by the Company Law Committee (CLC), the key changes are as follows:-<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Decriminalization Of Certain Offences \u2013 <\/strong>The bill proposes changes to certain offences in relation to technical and procedural defaults which can be determined objectively or otherwise lack any element of fraud or do not involve larger public interest. Speaking on the bill, Sitaraman said \u201cthere are currently around 124 penal provisions compared to 134 under Companies Act 2013\u201d. The said amendment will be carried out in\u00a0Section 23\u00a0of the Companies Act.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Producer Companies \u2013 <\/strong>The Companies (Amendment) Bill, 2020[1]proposes a new chapter XXIA relating to \u201cproducer companies and its incorporation\u201d. This chapter has been introduced for the benefit of farmers, handloom, agriculture as well as cottage industries.

The ceiling of the maximum strength of NCLAT under section 410 of the Act has been proposed to be removed in the bill.<\/li>\n<li id=\"takeaway\"><strong>Periodical Financial Results \u2013<\/strong> This is a newly inserted clause in the bill under section 129A. The Central Government shall require such class or classes of Unlisted companies as may be prescribed-<\/li>\n<li>To prepare financial results on periodical basis<\/li>\n<li>Obtain approval of the Board of Directors<\/li>\n<li>File a copy of periodical financial results with the ROC within 30 days of the completion of the relevant period with such fees as may be prescribed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Takeaway<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Companies Amendment Act of 2020 has brought out several changes in the way companies operate. Firstly, this is the fourth amendment to the Companies Act 2013. Previous amendments were made in the year of 2015, 2017, and 2019. Out of the above amendments, 2017 was the most comprehensive amendment which affected all provisions related to the Companies Act. The 2020 amendment has decriminalised different crimes which do not have the substance of fraud. Apart from this, the amendment has made it easier for companies to list their shares in international stock exchanges. So to conclude, it can be said that the amendment act has improved the ease of doing business for Indian companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Table of Content Objective Company Law Committee Report Main Motives of Carrying out the Companies Amendment Act 2020 Major Highlights [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14711,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Key Features of Companies Amendment Act, 2020 -CAGMC<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"key features of companies amendment act. 2020.
