MNO-IFSC also proposes to follow the same financial year as of holding company. Is it necessary to take approval of the National Company Law Tribunal?
Answer & Explanation:
International Financial Services Centre (IFSC) is a hub of financial services within a country which has laws and regulations different from the rest of the country. Usually, these centres have low tax rates and flexible regulations for securities and currency trading, banking and insurance, which make them attractive for foreign investment. It can be said that these centres deal mainly with the flow of money, financial product and services across borders. As stipulated under Clause 41 of Section 2 of the Companies Act 2013, in case of Specified IFSC Public/ Private Company, which is a subsidiary of a foreign company, the financial year of the subsidiary may be same as the financial year of its holding company and approval of the Tribunal shall not be required.
