Hello Sirs I request for your knowledgeable advice. Even after mandatory requirements, a few companies have not offered e voting facilities before Agm /egm. Was there any cut off date after which these amendments were introduced ? Is there any appropriate forum or authority where the matter can be took up. Thanks and regards

Hi Amisha,

Listed Companies and Companies having not less than 10000 shareholders were required to implement e-voting as per Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014. This was applicable immediately with coming into effect of the aforesaid rules. Hence as per my knowledge, penal provisions are applicable on such Companies i.e 5000 or 500 per day in case contravention is of continuing nature.

Thanks & Regards
