The incorrect statements are B, C and D only
Important Points
B) A company can ratify the contract entered into by the promoters with third parties on behalf of the company before its formation.

(C) The date mentioned in the certificate for commencement of business is taken as the date of birth of a public company.
- This statement is false as the filing date for the articles of incorporation is considered the company's incorporation date.
(D) A private company has to file a "Settlement in lieu of prospectus" with the registrar.
- This statement is false as a private company is not required to file a prospectus or a settlement in lieu of prospectus with the Registrar of Companies.
