Lotus Education Society wants to use the model code for its meetings. Which of the following entities is clearly a non-corporate entity for which such a code is intended?
A partnership firm formed under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 is a non-corporate entity, like societies and trusts. Listed companies and section 8 companies are incorporated bodies governed by the Companies Act, 2013, so the model code for non-corporate meetings is not aimed at them.
- AInfosys Limited, a listed public company
- BTata Steel Limited
- CA partnership firm, Mehta & Sons, formed under the Indian Partnership Act, 1932Correct
- DA section 8 company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013
Explanation
Non-corporate entities include societies, trusts and partnership firms, which are not incorporated under company law. Public companies and section 8 companies are corporate bodies governed by the Companies Act and Secretarial Standards.
