MCA Update in News
Reg. - LLP
Company Law Committee recommends decriminalisation of LLP Act, introduction of 'small LLPs'
The committee also suggested the introduction of the concept of a small LLP in line with small companies under the Companies Act, and provision for issuance of non-convertible debentures (NCDs) by LLPs to raise funds.
Small LLP
The CLC highlighted the need for the creation of a class of ‘small LLPs’ which would be subject to lesser compliances, fees and penalties to reduce the costs of compliance.
The proposed definition for small LLPs included conditions such as that the contribution of partners does not exceed Rs 25 lakh and an annual turnover not exceeding Rs 40 lakh.

The issue of service of demand notice and the possession notice was not raised just after filing the reply by the Bank before the DRT and even this fact was not mentioned in the rejoinder filed by the appellant – DRAT Allahabad
Case Citation: (2021) ibclaw.in 02 DRAT
The issue of service of demand notice and the possession notice was not raised just after filing the reply by the Bank before the DRT and even this fact was not mentioned in the rejoinder filed by the appellant and instead the amendment application was filed after more than one year, which goes to show that it was an after though contention to raise such unfounded issues. Thus, I find no infirmity in the findings of the Tribunal below with regard to the service of these notices.

RBI draining ?2 trillion of liquidity shows that the regulator is setting into motion its unwinding sequence, but it does not indicate any turn in near-term rate cycle, say experts. The recent move by RBI comes after it announced it will resume normal liquidity operations aimed at correcting the short-term rates that fell lower than the reverse repo rate of 3.35%.
