CA Inter Corporate Laws: Important Companies Act Sections Notes (Sec 2 to 20)

The first pages define key terms under Section 2, including associate company, financial statements, key managerial personnel, listed company, managing director, net worth, officer who is in default, promoter, and subsidiary company. The following pages cover One Person Company conditions and relaxations, members severally liable under Section 3A, Section 8 company formation and licence revocation, and the effect of registration under Section 9. Later pages explain the doctrines of constructive notice, indoor management and their exceptions, along with the registered office rules under Section 12 and service of documents under Section 20.

Each topic is kept short with memory aids such as the KMP list and the body corporate functions. Use the boxed points and the change-of-registered-office table to answer quick recall questions. The doctrine pages and the change-of-office table are useful for comparing similar provisions side by side, which helps in MCQ and descriptive answers.

These notes suit CA Inter students preparing Corporate and Other Laws, especially those who want a last-minute sectionwise summary of important Companies Act provisions. Students who already have the detailed study material can use them as a checklist to confirm they have covered the high-yield sections.
