07 November 2011 1) You need to pass ordinary resolution. However if 25% or more of share is held by Public Financial Institutes, then special resolution is required

2) Notice of EGM should be given of 21 clear days.

4)Appointment of Auditor is always till conclusion of next AGM. Hence if auditor is appointed in EGM(means, EGM is held before AGM) then he will hold office for next AGM. hence in given case if you appoint auditor in the month of July/August, he will hold office till AGM i.e. 30-9-09.
