Only a natural person can be a beneficial owner while reporting e-form MGT-6? It seems so from MCA recent notification on this. MCA has introduced new MGT-6 e-form (" MGT-6 ") on 15th July 2024 which is web-based form.

Indian Government has very good track record of killing our own country growth by taking stupid decisions. Our bureaucrats have taken oath not to learn from their past bad decisions. In this article, we will discuss how our Indian bureaucracy efforts are anti-growth. HOW STORY OF RED TAPISM STARTED? Idea-Vodafone merger was quite famous and it was said that this would help to boost Vodafone earning which have been showing very dismal picture. To go through this merger process, this deal had to navigate various regulatory windows and Department of Telecommunication (DoT) was one them.
