Hi,
As per section 196(1)(a) you have to maintain minutes of general meeting at the registered office of the company. This section is mandatory in nature.
For the minutes of board meeting law is silent.
As per my suggestion you can maintain your board meeting minutes at a place other then registered office. Reason being board minutes can not be inspected by members other than director and auditors.
