Legal Milestones in Indian Company Law: An Analytical Perspective on Reform and Regulation

Dr. P. Manochithra

Abstract: The evolution of company law in India reflects a dynamic interplay of colonial influence, legislative reforms, and global regulatory trends. This paper provides an analytical study of major legal milestones shaping Indian company law, focusing on key reforms such as the Companies Act, 1956 and its replacement by the Companies Act, 2013. A primary survey of legal practitioners, corporate professionals, and academicians was conducted to assess the impact of reforms on corporate governance, compliance, and investor protection. Using statistical tools such as percentage analysis, chi-square test, and ranking correlation, the study reveals significant associations between legal reforms and perceived corporate efficiency and transparency. The findings emphasize the need for continual simplification, technology integration, and stakeholder-centric legislative amendments.
