Can Holding Company conduct AGM before Subsidiaries's AGM?

Hi,

It is a known fact that Balance sheet signing date of Subsidiary should always be before the Balance sheet signing date of Holding. However, I would like to know if holding company can conduct AGM before the AGM of Subsidiary?

Thanks.

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a holding company can legally conduct its Annual General Meeting (AGM) before its subsidiaries' AGMs. While subsidiary balance sheets must be signed before the holding company's, the timing of AGMs is different. It's suggested that a holding company's AGM can proceed, with the adoption of financial statements being adjourned until after the subsidiaries have held theirs. This adjournment is considered lawful, differing from adjournments due to a lack of quorum as per Section 103 of the Companies Act.

Holding company can hold agm before subsidiary and meeting will be adjourned for one item adoption of financial statements . this other compliances can be made

thanks


Is there any reference for this in companies act or rules?

Refrence to adjournment is in section 103 but that is due to non availability of members. here word adjourn means "temporary ending of even with intention to complete at another time . this general law meaning . however it differs from section 103 that meeting is held but for one item meeting adjourned which is lawful
