Name of company - Publication of ‑ Mode and manner of keeping common seal of a company - Companies Law - Letter : No. 8/70(147)/64‑PR,Extract Letter : No. 8/70(147)/64 ‑ PR, dated 8 ‑ 12 ‑ 1964. Subject:- Name of company - Publication of ‑ Mode and manner of keeping common seal of a company Though the Companies Act or the model regulations in Table A of Schedule I do not provide for the form and manner in which the common seal of a company should be kept, i.e., whether a metallic one or a rubber stamp, it is understood that the general practice obtaining among enlightened company management is to use metallic common seal having regard to the importance of the use of such seal in the day‑to‑day working of companies. In view of the above, as also the wordings of section 147(1)(b), it is considered that the view that only a metallic seal should be used is correct. The provisions, if any, in the articles of association of the concerned company should also be looked into in this connection to see if they clearly lay down the mode and manner of keeping a common seal.
