Question and options
Without a Tribunal waiver, what fraction of the members of a company with no share capital is needed to apply under Sections 241 and 244 of the Companies Act, 2013?
One-fifth
One-tenth
One-fiftieth
One-twentieth
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - One-fifth
Section 244(1)(b) of the Companies Act, 2013 requires an application under section 241 by a company without share capital to be made by not less than one-fifth of its total members. One-tenth is the figure for a company having a share capital under section 244(1)(a), where one hundred members also suffice. The proviso to section 244(1) lets the Tribunal waive these requirements.
