Board Meetings during Covid 19

This discussion seeks clarification on the frequency of board meetings for private limited companies, particularly in light of the MCA's relaxation of the time between meetings to 180 days until September 30, 2020. The original question is whether this reduces the annual requirement from four to two meetings. It also explores whether small private limited companies are still required to hold four meetings annually or if they can adhere to a reduced schedule. A key section of the Companies Act, 2013 (Section 179(5)) is cited, which allows for one meeting per half of a calendar year with at least 90 days between them for specific company types, including small companies.
