04 September 2013 Can anyone advice whether increase demanded by stat auditor for previous year fees is an ordinary business or special business

04 September 2013 Hi

It is a matter of Board of Directors. No need to take it in general meeting. You just mentioned in shareholder resolution that at remuneration as decided by Board in consultation with auditor.

So no need to take it as ordinary business or special business.

Appointment of auditor will be covered under ordinary business.

04 September 2013 Draft Specimen Shareholder Resolution:

To appoint M/s..... & Associates, Chartered Accountants, as auditors of the Company to hold office from the conclusion of this Annual General Meeting until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting and to fix their remuneration and to pass the following resolution thereof:

“Resolved That M/s ....... & Associates, Chartered Accountants (firm registration number 00), be and are hereby appointed as the auditors of the Company to hold office from the conclusion of this Annual General Meeting until the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting on such remuneration as may be determined by the Board of Directors in consultation with the auditors.”

04 September 2013 Ajay Sir, last AGM minutes has mentioned an amount of 1 lakh fees to be paid.

however, in april a revision letter comes for previous year for 2 lakh. now, i think, if shareholders have approved a particular amount, it should be informed in sept AGM that the fee has been increased.

but shud it be a specific agenda item or just approval of balance with provision of increase suffice?

04 September 2013 As per my understanding, it is the matter of Board and Audit committee and not of the shareholders.

If you wanted to place it AGM you can do so.

04 September 2013 sir, pls advice one thing. since section 173 says ordinary business is to appoint auditor and fix his remuneration.

now if the resolution passed is not as u suggested (giving powers to Board)

can i just highlight the fact for increase recommended by Board in AGM at the time of adoption of balance sheet ?
