Sir,
I shall change as per yours.
I have a query, whether after the resolution, can I make a sentence 'The resolution was passed unanimously'.
As per my understanding it is not o.k since it is not a mandatory requirement. Dividend, as you know,has to be declared by an ordinary resolution vide section 189 of the Companies Act,1956 which needs only a simple majority, so question of unanimity is not warranted.
