Director in agm

Dear Niraj,

In your case tes the Board meetings can be held outside India but the same cannot be done in case of AGM it has to take place in Delhi if the registered office is situated here and obviosly is an Indian Company. Moreover it is always advisable to have Indian Directors in such cases even if dummy in nature.

Thanks Sir

but my query is that can a AGM be held even is there is no Director present.

Dear Niraj,

Yes the AGM can be held without the directors. Also these directors may send proxies on their behalf where required. The Companies Act gives out the quorum required i.e. 2 and 5 in case of Private and Public Companies respectively but no mandatory requirement with reference to presence of Directors.

Thanks & Regards

Dear Friends,

AGM is the meeting of members of the company.As per section 174 of the companies Act,1956, to constitute a valid quorum  for a Private Company atleast  2   members are to be personally present in the AGM.For the purpose of quorum, proxies are not counted.In the given situation, the company may have all foreign directors and foreign companies as shareholders; so that all Board meetings may be held abroad and for holding EGM/AGM, the  foreign shareholder companies to pass Board Resolution U/s 187 of the Companies Act ,appointing Indian residents as their representatives to attend EGM/AGM to constitute a valid quorum.
