25 October 2012 Dear CCI Members,

I have a doubt. A private limited company in its Articles has a clause that minimum no. of directors is 3. One of the director got retired. The company continued its activities for some time. Now , there is default in AOA compliance. I need to know if there is any penalty for non compliance of clause of AOA and what steps the company should take in order to comply with all the relevant sections? The company seeks to keep only 2 directors now. Is amendment of Articles possible now after default has been done. Please give procedure for amendment of AOA as well. Thanks a lot in advance
