After the order of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), people under the Section 252 of the Companies Act can not operate bank accounts of these companies till they get legal permission. The government has stated in its statement that the accounts of these two lakh companies have been removed from the list of the Register of Companies. The list of companies which have been banned is available on the website of the Corporate Ministry. The Department of Financial Services has advised all banks through the Indian Banks' Association (IBA) to stop the accounts of Shell companies from immediate effect by the Finance Ministry.
