Circular Resolution

Procedure given in section 192A and postal ballot rules is for the approval of shareholders instead of a general meeting.

For passing board resolution by circulation refer the procedure given in section 289.

PASSING OF RESOLUTION BY CIRCULATION U/S 289 OF THE CO. ACT, 1956  

Regards

Approval of the Board can be accorded through Circular Resolution for change of name of the company.

But I think Circular resolution is passed in case of emergency. While the name change of a company is a big issue and it has to be pre-planned n pre-decided. So is it ok to pass Circular resolution?

Hi,

No there is no restriction as such like emergency etc...It is freely allowed...

Thanx

Thanx Ankur G,

But the point is can we go ahead with the change of name of the company by bcircular resolution instead of convening the formal Board Meeting.

1.My company wants to pass circular resolution for approval of audited accounts on 1st May, 2012 (back date) as today is 7th, May 2012. Can a Company can pass circular resolution back date.

2. Wether a company can get the audited accounts appoved by circulation. and if approved by circulation then how accounts will be signed by directors.

Kindly clarify my doubts

A company can get the audited accounts appoved by circulation by following section 289.

However back dated Circular resolution is not possible in your case considering the compliance of section 289. You have to circulate the same in draft well in advance together with necessary papers (balance sheet in your case) to all the directors.
