Company In The Indian Context

A Company can be : Private / Public, closely held/ widely held, unlisted/listed, non-profit company, government company, a Nidhi, producer company, subsidiary / wholly owned subsidiary or a foreign company etc.

A Company enjoys many benefits: access to a wider market, separate legal entity, it can sue and be sued in its own name, perpetual succession, access to capital markets, limited liability, it has its own Charter in which the goals/objects are stated and is known as Memorandum of Association as well as a rule book for running of the Company called the Articles of Association.

The people who contribute money to the Company are called shareholders. They are the owners of the Company. They form a small body and employ/elect people to run the Company and this small body is called the Board of Directors.

Thus, we see that as the business becomes more complex and involves more individuals, the organisational structure too evolves and becomes complex.

Just as it happens in the animal kingdom: a single celled animal- can be likened to a Sole Proprietor or an OPC, simple multi cellular organism- to a partnership or an LLP and then the complex multi cellular organism- being a Company[SB1]

Did you know: In Vedic times, a business was called a “Sreshth’, a businessman was called a ‘Sreshthi’, Guild was known as “Shreni’.

What Is A Company

The word Company come from the Latin word ‘companis’: ‘com’ meaning with or together; ‘panis’ meaning bread. Thus, Company means : to break bread together.

In the Indian context- Corporate form of economic activity is not a new age concept.

It has been a part of our inherent nature to acquire wealth. In the opening lines of the book “Corporate Life In Ancient India” written by Ramesh Chandra Majumdar, who was a lecturer on Ancient Indian History, Calcutta University ; also a Premchand Roychand Scholar, wherein he has stated “This appears from a passage in the Brihad-Aranyak-opanisad,' when read along with Sankaracharya's comments thereon. We are told that on the analogy of the Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas and Sudras in human society, Brahma created similar classes among the gods. But he was not content by bringing into existence the first two classes alone, because they could not acquire wealth. Hence were created the Vaisyas who were called ‘ganasah’ owing to the circumstance that it was — by co-operation and not by individual effort that they could acquire wealth.”

Thus, wealth creation can be done not in isolation but as a team effort.

Who is an NRI?

As per RBI- A ‘Non-resident Indian’ (NRI) is a person resident outside India who is a citizen of India.

As per Income Tax Act, 1961 "non-resident" means a person who is not a "resident", and for the purposes of sections 92, 93 and 168, includes a person who is not ordinarily resident within the meaning of clause (6) of section 6 ;

The word “person" includes—

(i) an individual,

(ii) a Hindu undivided family,

(iii) a company,

(iv) a firm,

(v) an association of persons or a body of individuals, whether incorporated or not,

(vi) a local authority, and

(vii) every artificial juridical person, not falling within any of the preceding sub-clauses.

Explanation.—For the purposes of this clause, an association of persons or a body of individuals or a local authority or an artificial juridical person shall be deemed to be a person, whether or not such person or body or authority or juridical person was formed or established or incorporated with the object of deriving income, profits or gains;

How To Determine That An Individual Is NRI?

'Non-resident Indian' is an individual who is a citizen of India or a person of Indian origin and who is not a resident of India. Thus, in order to determine whether an Individual is a non-resident Indian or not, his residential status is required to be determined under Section 6. As per section 6 of the Income-tax Act, an individual is said to be non-resident in India if he is not a resident in India and an individual is deemed to be resident in India in any previous year if he satisfies any of the following conditions:

1. If he is in India for a period of 182 days or more during the previous year; or

2. If he is in India for a period of 60 days or more during the previous year and 365 days or more during 4 years immediately preceding the previous year.

However, in respect of an Indian citizen and a person of Indian origin who visits India during the year, the period of 60 days as mentioned in (2) above shall be substituted with 182 days. The similar concession is provided to the Indian citizen who leaves India in any previous year as a crew member or for the purpose of employment outside India.

The Finance Act, 2020, w.e.f., Assessment Year 2021-22 has amended the above exception to provide that the period of 60 days as mentioned in (2) above shall be substituted with 120 days, if an Indian citizen or a person of Indian origin whose total income, other than income from foreign sources, exceeds Rs. 15 lakhs during the previous year. Income from foreign sources means income which accrues or arises outside India (except income derived from a business controlled in or a profession set up in India).

An Indian citizen shall be deemed to be resident in India only if his total income, other than income from foreign sources, exceeds Rs. 15 lakhs during the previous year. For this provision, income from foreign sources means income which accrues or arises outside India (except income derived from a business controlled in or a profession set up in India).

However, such individual shall be deemed to be Indian resident only when he is not liable to tax in any country or jurisdiction by reason of his domicile or residence or any other criteria of similar nature.

Thus, from Assessment Year 2021-22, an Indian Citizen earning total income in excess of Rs. 15 lakhs (other than from foreign sources) shall be deemed to be resident in India if he is not liable to pay tax in any country.

A person shall be deemed to be of Indian origin if he, or either of his parents or any of his grand-parents, was born in undivided India.

6. For the purposes of this Act,—

(1) An individual is said to be resident in India in any previous year, if he—

(a) is in India in that year for a period or periods amounting in all to one hundred and eighty-two days or more ; or

(b) [***]

(b) being a citizen of India, or a person of Indian origin within the meaning of Explanation to clause (e) of section 115C, who, being outside India, comes on a visit to India in any previous year, the provisions of sub-clause (c) shall apply in relation to that year as if for the words "sixty days", occurring therein, the words "one hundred and eighty-two days" had been substituted 30[and in case of 31[such person] having total income, other than the income from foreign sources, exceeding fifteen lakh rupees during the previous year, for the words "sixty days" occurring therein, the words "one hundred and twenty days" had been substituted.]

Explanation 2.—For the purposes of this clause, in the case of an individual, being a citizen of India and a member of the crew of a foreign bound ship leaving India, the period or periods of stay in India shall, in respect of such voyage, be determined in the manner and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed.32

33[(1A) Notwithstanding anything contained in clause (1), an individual, being a citizen of India, having total income, other than the income from foreign sources, exceeding fifteen lakh rupees during the previous year shall be deemed to be resident in India in that previous year, if he is not liable to tax in any other country or territory by reason of his domicile or residence or any other criteria of similar nature.]

A Hindu undivided family, firm or other association of persons is said to be resident in India in any previous year in every case except where during that year the control and management of its affairs is situated wholly outside India.

A company is said to be a resident in India in any previous year, if—

(i) it is an Indian company; or

(ii) its place of effective management, in that year, is in India.

Explanation- For the purposes of this clause "place of effective management" means a place where key management and commercial decisions that are necessary for the

conduct of business of an entity as a whole are, in substance made.

Every other person is said to be resident in India in any previous year in every case, except where during that year the control and management of his affairs is situated wholly outside India.

(c) a citizen of India, or a person of Indian origin, having total income, other than the income from foreign sources, exceeding fifteen lakh rupees during the previous year, as referred to in clause (b) of Explanation1 to clause (1), who has been in India for a period or periods amounting in all to one hundred and twenty days or more but less than one hundred and eighty-two days; or

(d) a citizen of India who is deemed to be resident in India under clause (1A).
