The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has revoked Licences of 264 ''not-for-profit'' companies under section 42(5) of the Companies Act 2017. Sources told Business Recorder that the SECP has issued a consolidated list of ''not-for-profit'' (companies) whose licences have been revoked by the commission under section 42(5) of the Companies Act 2017, as on July 3, 2018.
The section 42 of the Companies Act is related to the licensing of associations with charitable and not for profit objects. Under the said provisions of law, the Commission may at any time by order in writing, revoke a license granted, with such directions as it may deem fit, on being satisfied that the company or its management has failed to comply with any of the terms or conditions subject to which a license is granted or any of the requirements specified or any regulations are not met or complied with.
The SECP can also revoke license in case the affairs of the company are conducted in a manner prejudicial to public interest or the company has made a default in filing with the registrar its financial statements or annual returns for immediately preceding two consecutive financial years. The SECP can also revoke license in case the company has acted against the interest, sovereignty and integrity of Pakistan, the security of the State and friendly relations with foreign States or the number of members is reduced, below three.
The SECP is legally empowered to revoke license in case the company is conceived or brought forth for, or is or has been carrying on, unlawful or fraudulent activities or run and managed by persons who fail to maintain proper and true accounts or they commit fraud, misfeasance or malfeasance in relation to the company.
The SECP can also revoke license if company run and managed by persons who are involved in terrorist financing or money laundering or managed by persons who refuse to act according to the requirements of the memorandum or articles or the provisions of this Act or failed to carry out the directions or decisions of the Commission or the registrar given in exercise of the powers conferred by Companies Act. The SECP can also revoke license if company is not carrying on its business or is not in operation for one year.
The SECP can also revoke license of a company if it is just and equitable that the license should be revoked, SECP added. Provided that before a license is so revoked, the Commission shall give to the company a notice, in writing of its intention to do so, and shall afford the company an opportunity to be heard.
