With the Companies Act, 2013 coming into force, practitioners and serious students alike have waited with bated breath for Ramaiya's commentary. The Act, having covered new areas and, in the process, having given rise to numerous doubts and difficulties, the need was felt, more than ever before, for an aid to facilitate a clear understanding. This edition provides the requisite clarity and comprehensiveness that Ramaiya, as the definitive treatise on the subject, has manifested for decades. The comparisons with the 1956 Act, the explanations for the changes, and the interpretative challenges have been handled in a manner that has stood the test of time.

Since its first edition in 1956, Ramaiya and company law have been inseparable in the minds of Indian corporate lawyers. Ramaiya’s Guide to the Companies Act has remained the most admired volume – perhaps the most cited work in Indian company courts
and tribunals. The Guide has stood out strongly and exceptionally in every way - its meticulous research, well written commentary, description of legislative intent, succinct coverage of Indian and foreign judicial precedents, procedural aspects, notifications, clarifications and circulars. It is a wonderful compilation of Indian company law. It will be no exaggeration to say that this book is the most productive investment for practitioners in corporate laws.
