neha mam would u please suggest me that the board may discuss the new matter in the adjourned meeting or not

An adjourned meeting is merely the continuation of the original meeting and therefore, a fresh notice is not necessary, if the time, date and place for holding the adjourned meeting are decided and declared at the time of adjourning it.

If a meeting is adjourned without stipulation as to when it will be continued, fresh notice of the adjourned meeting must be given.

Only the business not finished at the original meeting can be transacted at the adjourned meeting.

As mentioned by learned members there is no need to take print outs of minutes on the letter head of the company. However you are free to do the same. Especially if you are using soft copy letterhead.

Separate A4 size minutes sheets are available in the market for printing purpose. Further law is silent regarding all this. Only remember compliance of section 193 regarding maintenance, preparation and signing of minutes.

Thanks

As per my understanding yes it is very much possible especially when you are not talking about something like Navratna companies or Fortune 500 companies.

I mean practically speaking with the consent of board of directors this is very much possible. For any general or basic business you can always use the following item of your board meeting agenda:

“Any other business with the permission of chair”.

However if the agenda is specific and important like infusion of new funds via PE or acquisition of business then it is very much advisable to not to club it with an old agenda and separate meeting should be called.

Rest (keeping in view the corporate practicality) the answer of your question is entirely dependent on the mutual understanding of your board of directors.
