Hi
As per the provisions of the Act, the nomenclature of the committee is "Internal Compliance Committee" (in short ICC).
However, by virtue of amendment to the Act notified in the Gazette Notification on 9th May, 2016 – Extraordinary Part II Section 1 - Second Schedule the nomenclature was changed to :" Internal Committee".
Hence, the correct Title is "Internal Committee"
I am associated with few MNCs as External Member of the IC on PAN INDIA BASIS
