A.Unlimited
B.50
C.100
D.200
Explanation: Section 2(68) defines a private company and restricts membership to a maximum of 200, excluding present and past employees who became members during or after employment. The earlier limit of 50 under the 1956 Act was raised to 200 in the 2013 Act.
2A company formed for promoting charitable objects and intending to apply its profits in promoting those objects, prohibiting payment of dividends, is registered under which section of the Companies Act, 2013?
A.Section 25
B.Section 7
C.Section 8
D.Section 12
Explanation: Section 8 governs companies formed with charitable, scientific, educational or similar objects that apply profits only towards their objects and prohibit dividend payments. The Central Government grants a licence allowing such companies to be registered without the words 'Limited' or 'Private Limited'.
3Within how many days of incorporation must a company have a registered office capable of receiving and acknowledging communications under Section 12 of the Companies Act, 2013?
A.15 days
B.30 days
C.45 days
D.60 days
Explanation: Section 12(1) requires a company to have a registered office capable of receiving and acknowledging all communications within thirty days of its incorporation and at all times thereafter. Notice of the situation is filed with the Registrar in Form INC-22.
4The doctrine that a person dealing with a company is deemed to have read its public documents (memorandum and articles) and is bound by them is known as:
A.Doctrine of constructive notice
B.Doctrine of ultra vires
C.Doctrine of alter ego
D.Doctrine of indoor management
Explanation: The doctrine of constructive notice presumes that outsiders dealing with a company have notice of its registered public documents, which are open to inspection. They are deemed to know the contents of the memorandum and articles whether or not they actually read them.
5Under the doctrine of indoor management (Royal British Bank v. Turquand), an outsider dealing with a company is:
A.Liable for any internal procedural default of the company
B.Required to inspect the company's minute books before contracting
C.Bound to inquire into internal compliance and irregularities
D.Entitled to assume that internal procedures have been duly complied with
Explanation: The Turquand rule allows persons dealing with a company in good faith to assume that the internal procedural requirements of the memorandum and articles have been complied with. Outsiders cannot be expected to know what happens within the company's internal management.
6An alteration of the articles of association of a company requires which type of resolution under Section 14 of the Companies Act, 2013?
A.Unanimous resolution of all members
B.Ordinary resolution
C.Special resolution
D.Board resolution only

A.Rupees 2 crore
B.Rupees 4 crore
C.Rupees 10 crore
D.Rupees 50 lakh
Explanation: Following the amendment effective from September 2022, the small company thresholds were raised so paid-up capital must not exceed rupees 4 crore and turnover must not exceed rupees 40 crore. Both conditions must be satisfied, and certain companies such as holding/subsidiary and Section 8 companies are excluded.
8A One Person Company (OPC) under the Companies Act, 2013 must indicate the name of which person in its memorandum, who shall become a member in the event of the sole member's death or incapacity?
A.A nominee
B.A successor director
C.An auditor
D.A guarantor
Explanation: Section 3(1) read with the OPC rules requires the memorandum of a One Person Company to state the name of a nominee, with the nominee's prior written consent. On the sole member's death or incapacity to contract, the nominee becomes the member of the OPC.
9The memorandum of association of a company contains which of the following as one of its clauses under Section 4 of the Companies Act, 2013?
A.Procedure for forfeiture of shares
B.Rules for declaration of dividend
C.Quorum for board meetings
D.The objects clause
Explanation: Section 4 prescribes the contents of the memorandum, including the name clause, registered office (situation/state) clause, objects clause, liability clause, capital clause, and subscription clause. The objects clause defines the scope within which the company can operate.
10Under Section 7(4) of the Companies Act, 2013, the company must maintain copies of all documents and information originally filed for registration until:
A.Five years from incorporation
B.Ten years from incorporation
C.Dissolution of the company
