1) the whole of the undertaking of the undertaking of the company
ii) substantially the whole of the undertaking of the company

Dear Sir, thanks for the reply. So, since the company is a private limited, can it do the same by just holding a board meeting????????

Yes. Company can do it passing resolution in the Board meeting.
However, for better corporate governance, you can hold general meeting. Since it is a private company, probably members & directors will be the same persons. Holding a general meeting should not be a problem.
