Dear Sir,
Can a Section 8 company can hold a savings or not.
Please revert
savings means?
A section 8 company can have excess of income over expenditure. Restriction is sec 8 company can not distribute dividend.
The Form prescribes that change of more than 50% of the trutees/functionary only to be intimated. If there is no change in key functionary and change of other functionary (trustees) is less than 50% still the same has to be informed ?
No.
If change is less than 50% then no need to file such form.
However, my advice is to file whenever there is change in board members as a good practice
Sir,
Today 29th July I read your notice. I am so sorry for late. Can I send late information?
What is to be done if only the Chief Functionary is changing?
