The purpose of this amendment is to ensure a society registered under the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts may also avail of this provision. The purpose of this section is to provide for an unregistered company to register as any of the company types, that is, a private limited company, unlimited company and so forth, provided for under this Bill. The amendment maintains the existing terms set out for such societies in the 1963 Act.
