No, read section 9 of the Companies Act, 1956.

13 March 2012 Sir,

Can we resort to Section 106 of the Companies Act, 1956 and vary the mebers right as regards to dividend?

Making a provision like above will result in denying the basic right to dividend of the Shareholders or it will amount to varying right using Section 106 of the Act?

14 March 2012 Agree with Ajay Ji!!

Equity Shareholders are known to have right of Dividend and right to vote!!

As far as section 106 is concerned a company can vary the rights but can not remove!!!!
