How to Determine if Your Company's Document is a Form or a Section?
To ascertain whether your company's document falls under the category of 'Form' or 'Section,' you'll need to identify the legislation under which your company is registered:

For Companies Registered Under the 1965 Companies Act:
If your company was registered under the 1965 Companies Act, the documents you'll be dealing with are referred to as 'Forms' (old forms). These forms were utilized under the previous legislation.

For Companies Registered Under the 2016 Companies Act:
If your company was registered under the 2016 Companies Act, the documents you'll encounter are labeled as 'Sections' (new forms). These sections align with the revised legislation and its updated requirements.
