• Registrar of companies has control over the matters of union, merger, or division of a producer company while in case of the private limited company court has the power.
• It can never be transformed into a public company. However, it can be transformed into a multi-state co-operative society.
• A producer company has a distinct legal entity and offers the facilities of limited liability and constancy.
• Producer companies provide high reliability as compared to that provided by unregistered organizations of agriculturists/farmers.
• Changes in the Board of Management of a producer company can be made quickly just by filing a few easy forms with the ROC involved.
• A registered producer company is completely allowed to receive deposits from or give loans to its agriculturist members at fair rates of interest.
• Only an adequately registered producer company is allowed to sell or own a property in its name.
• It is to be noted that since the IT Act does not offer any special advantage or privilege to Producer Companies as such, depending upon the type of agricultural activity, it carries on, some tax benefits can be used. For example, if green tea leaves are produced and sold directly without any further processing, the income obtained from such an activity is regarded as agricultural income under the IT Act. This income is 100 % tax-free, but if the green tea leaves are further processed, and tea is produced, only 60% of the income generated from this activity is considered as agricultural income, and the tax exclusion can be used only on the said 60% of such income. Thus, it is clear that the tax exclusion to a producer company based on the activity it carries on.
