REGISTER OF MEMBERS

Every company shall keep a register of members in accordance with Section 88(1) of the Companies Act, 2013. Rule 3 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules 2014 discuss the particulars in the register of members.

Every company Limited by shares shall from the date of its registration maintain a register of its member in Form MGT – 1. [Rule 3(1)]

Every Company not having share Capital, the Register of member shall contain following particulars in respect of each member:

(a) Personal Details:

1. Name of member,
2. Address (Registered office address in case of body corporate),
3. E – mail address,
4. Permanent Account Number (PAN) or Corporate identity Number (CIN),
5. Unique Identification Number (Aadhar Number), if any,
6. Name of Father/Mother/spouse,
7. Occupation,
8. Status,
9. Nationality,
10. Name of Guardian and Date of Birth (in case of minor),
11. Name and Address of Nominee,

(b)Date of becoming Member,

(c) Date of cessation

(d) Amount of Guarantee, if any,

(e) Any other interest, if any

(f) Instruction given by member with regard to sending of notices etc. [Rule 3(2)]

Due to drafting error, this seems that Company limited by guarantee having share capital (as they have share capital but not limited by shares) is free to have their own format. I suggest, these companies should follow sub – Rule (2) of Rule 3.

Existing companies shall comply this requirement within six month from the commencement of these Rules. The Rules was commenced on 1^st day of April 2014, hence companies have to comply this required on or before 30^th September 2014.
