Dear experts,

Please clear my doubt regarding holding general meeting or even board meeting in the registered office . Can any company hold their meetings (GM or BR) in the corporate office.

Basically registered office is the main office where all the official transactions and legal notifications are sent- while corporate office is the place where the executives sit.

Is it legally permissible to hold BM in the corporate office.

regards,

tanveer md masood.

BM can be held at any place even other than registered or corporate office. AGM has to be held at the registered office or within the city, town or village in which the registered office is situated.

Companies Act defines that AGM is to be held in registered office

It means any meeting other than AGM can be held at any place

Thanks all experts and professionals

What I made out from your views is the fact that AGM can only be held at the registered office or at any other place , town or village where the registered office is situated - this in case of private limited company while bm can be led any where .
