The Regional Director shall hold a hearing within a period of thirty days as required and direct the Company to file an affidavit to record the consensus reached at the hearing. The Regional Director shall pass an order either approving or rejecting the application along with the reasons within thirty days from the date of hearing.

In case where no consensus is received, the Regional Director may approve the conversion, if he is satisfied having regard to all the circumstances of the case, that the conversion would not be against the interests of the Company or is not being made with a view to contravene or to avoid complying with the provisions of the Act, with reasons to be recorded in writing. However, the conversion shall not be allowed if any inquiry, inspection or investigation has been initiated against the company or any prosecution is pending against the company under the Act.
