Minority Shareholders are those shareholders who do not have control over the management affairs of the company. These shareholders do not have enough voting rights to affect or alter the managerial descisions.

minority is subjective term term as we all know...

a meeting/resolution/bussiness require 51% consent(ordinary resolution) rest 49% would b minority.

if 75% consent is required then rest 25% is minority

when 90% consent(section 395 etc) is required the rest 10% is minority

if 100% consent is required(section 372A etc)..then no minority...
