Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether book closure is a mandatory requirement for listed companies holding AGMs, particularly when no corporate actions like dividends or bonus issues are involved. While year-end and reporting dates are mandatory for auditing and finalising financial statements, the necessity of book closure itself is debated. It's noted as a common practice to prevent share transfers between the record date for e-voting and the AGM conclusion, but not strictly mandatory if no corporate action is planned.

Year end and reporting dates are mandatory for auditing. AGM finalises financial statements as per IT regulations. This is applicable to all registered companies.

To change hands during intervening period from Record date of evoting to till conclusion of AGM ( mostly 48 hrs post AGM ) Share transfer books are closed...ya not mandatory but a practice...I don't think so there is any logic to close books for corporate action when record date is already fixed ,just get BENPOS of record date and proceed ahead..
