Length of the notice of General Meeting

hiten (none) (71 Points)

03 November 2010  

 

Everything is clear with regards to the length of notice. I have kept three things in my mind viz:

1.    exclude posting day.

2.    exclude the date of meeting.

3.    2days (ie 48 hours ) in case if the notice is sent through Post shall be provided .

 

Kindly explain me the following problem :

Date of AGM                                                       07.09.2005

Date of despatch of notice by Post                16.08.2005

 

Answer to the question as per PCC module of ICAI

16thaug to 7th sept                                                               23days

less: date of service and date of meeting                       2days

                                                                                                21days

less:  48 hous of posting but 24 hours are

           common between date of service

            and 48 hours of posting                                              1 day

           TOTAL                                                                         20 days

 

THE ABOVE SOLUTION IS AS PER MODULE OF PCC. I CANT UNDERSTAND THE TREATMENT OF 48 HOURS CRITERIA.

WHY HAS IT TAKEN 24 HOURS ONLY INSTEAD OF 48 HOURS AS GIVEN IN SECTION 53 OF COMPANIES ACT 1956

 

ARE THERE ANY OTHER PROVISIONS IN THE ACT REGARDING THE SAME.

PLEASE POST YOUR REPLIES ASAP !!!

THANKS
