      D It has a limited life span dependent on its members. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E It possesses a separate legal identity from its shareholders. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      A company, once incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013 (or earlier laws such as the Companies Act, 1956), acquires certain defining features: • It is an incorporated association, formed through registration. • It is considered an artificial person created by law, capable of holding property, entering into contracts, and suing or being sued. • It has a separate legal entity distinct from its shareholders. • It enjoys perpetual succession, meaning the death, insolvency, or exit of members does not affect its continuity. However, the idea of a “limited life span” is not a feature of a company, since companies continue to exist until legally wound up.
