[amp_mcq option1=”Registrar of Companies” option2=”Central Government” option3=”NCLT” option4=”Department of Company Affairs” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: A. Registrar of Companies
The Registrar of Companies is the government official responsible for registering and regulating companies in India. The Registrar of Companies has the power to order a company to call an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) even if only one member is present in person or by proxy. This power is granted to the Registrar of Companies under Section 101 of the Companies Act, 2013.
Section 101 of the Companies Act, 2013 states that the Registrar of Companies may order a company to call an EGM if he is satisfied that it is necessary to do so in the interests of the company or its members. The Registrar of Companies may also order a company to call an EGM if he is satisfied that the company has failed to comply with any of the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
The Registrar of Companies may order a company to call an EGM by issuing a notice to the company. The notice must specify the date, time, and place of the EGM, as well as the matters to be discussed at the EGM. The company must comply with the order of the Registrar of Companies and call the EGM as directed.
If the company fails to comply with the order of the Registrar of Companies, the Registrar of Companies may take further action against the company, such as imposing a fine or directing the company to be wound up.
The other options are incorrect because they are not the government officials responsible for registering and regulating companies in India.
