Whether any time line is required for holding AGM of a Pvt Ltd company with shorter notice as the company was not able to give 21 days of Notice for AGM. Audited balancesheet and PL are signed only on 25.09.2025 and notice issued on that date it self and obtained the consent from members for short notice. Can we hold the AGM on 29 th or 30 th september. Kindly advice

Quick Summary

A Private Limited Company can hold an AGM at shorter notice if consent is obtained from at least 95% of voting members under Section 101 of the Companies Act, 2013. Therefore, an AGM scheduled on 29th or 30th September after issuing notice on 25.09.2025 is generally valid.

Yes, the AGM can be held on 29th or 30th September if shorter notice consent has been obtained from the members, even though the statutory 21-day notice period could not be given.

Under Section 101(1) & 101(3), Companies Act 2013, an AGM can be called at shorter notice if consent is obtained from not less than 95% of the members entitled to vote.
