Company Law by Avtar Singh - The enactment of the Companies Act, 2013 was a milestone of legal reforms in India, aimed at bringing Indian companies law at par with the global standards. The Act introduced significant changes in the companies law in India, especially in relation to accountability, disclosures, investor protection and corporate governance. However some practical difficulties were being faced in the implementation of the Companies Act 2013. Representations were several quarters for further review and simplification of the 2013 Act were made to the Government of India. Pursuant to these representations, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs constituted a Companies Law Committee for addressing these concerns. Based on the suggestions made by the Committee, The Companies (Amendment) Act, 2017 was passed by the Parliament which addresses difficulties in implementation, facilities ease of doing business, helps achieving better harmonization with other statutes such as Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 and regulations made thereunder, and rectifies inconsistencies in the 2013 Act. Thus this text book on Company Law thoroughly revised and updated at par of the Amendment Act 2017. This book comes in its seventeenth edition, to serve Corporate Counsel, Legal Advisors, Advocates, Auditors, Law Students etc. It stands as very useful for several years.
