As per section 101(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 an AGM may be called after giving a shorter notice if consent is given in writing or by electronic mode by not less than ninety-five percent of the members entitled to vote at such meeting.
Shorter Notice for convening General Meeting - Companies Act 2013 [Section 101(1)]
Shorter Notice may be given to the shareholders of a Company for convening General Meeting be it Annual General Meeting (AGM) or Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EGM).
Detailed provisions under the Companies Act 2013 are described below.
Standard notice period (minimum):-
Section 101(1) requires at least 21 days clear notice to be served on to call a general meeting of shareholders of companies.
Shortened Notice Period:-
Proviso to Section 101(1) allows a Company to hold/call for a shareholders’ meeting in a shorter notice period – i.e. of less than 21 days, provided consent is given in writing or by electronic mode by not less than 95% of the members entitled to vote at such meeting.
Time Limit for calling general meeting with a shorter notice: There is no time limit prescribed as such for serving of short notice. It can even be done on the same day when the general meeting is to be held. However, the Articles of Association of a Company may specify a time limit for such shorter notice.
