Dividends, company act 2013

 

hello, please answer to above question and thank u in advance.

This is the question of CA Final  in Law PM January 2015 edition.. here it is given that shareholders cannot modify the rate of dividend.

What it means ?

Munish Bhandari says that Shareholders can decrease rate of dividend but cannot increase it (which was same in Companies Act 1956 )... Here in PM it says share holders cannot modify the rate of dividend.

module does not have any point on it.. please answer my query.

if possible plz send link for the same.. Thank you :)

according to schedule I, Table F, Regulation 80, "the company in general meeting may declare dividends, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the Board". I hope no one need to explain more about this. :)
...but, no dividend shall exceed the
....but, no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the board"...this implies that they can reduce the rate of dividend recommended by the board but they cant increase that rate. In pm, modify word applies with respect to increase of the rate of dividend only.
Thank u.. @ rajat @ kishor
