According to the provisions of the Companies Act, the timeline for opening a bank account for payment of dividend after the Annual General Meeting (AGM) is crucial. Here’s how it typically works:
1. **Interpretation of "Within 5 Days":**
- When the Companies Act states that the bank account should be opened "within 5 days from the date of AGM," it generally means that the day of the AGM itself is not included in the count.
- Therefore, if your AGM is on the 29th of September, the count of 5 days would start from the day immediately following the AGM, which is the 30th of September.
- The 5th day from the 30th of September would be the 4th of October.
2. **Last Date for Transferring Amount:**
- The last date for transferring the amount to the newly opened bank account would be the 4th of October.
- This means that the funds intended for the payment of dividends should be transferred into the newly opened bank account by the end of the banking hours on the 4th of October.
3. **Compliance and Practical Considerations:**
- It is crucial to ensure compliance with these timelines to avoid any penalties or issues related to dividend payments.
- Companies often liaise with their banks in advance to ensure that the account opening process is expedited and completed well within the stipulated timeframe.
- Any delays in opening the bank account or transferring the funds could lead to non-compliance with regulatory requirements and may necessitate corrective actions.
In conclusion, considering your AGM date of 29th September, the last date for transferring the amount to the bank account opened for dividend payment would be the 4th of October. Ensure that all necessary steps are taken promptly to adhere to these timelines as per the Companies Act provisions.
