Dear Mr. Ankur Garg,

In my view, u have made some mistakes in drafting the resolution, as specified below:

1. The corporate guarantee in the given case is to be given by a private company. The provisions of section 372A are not applicable to a private company. Therefore, reference to section 372A in the resolution is not at all required.

2. You have given reference to some limits in the resolution, as specified below:

“60 % of the aggregate of the paid-up share capital and free reserves and/or upto 100% of the aggregate of free reserves”

Since Section 372A does not apply in the given case, the reference to these limits given u/s 372A is not acceptable.

3. The words “… the consent of the Company be and is hereby accorded to the Board of directors…” imply that u have drafted the general meeting resolution authorizing the Board to provide the guarantee.

In case of a private company, the power to provide guarantee is always vested with the Board. No authorization by the members is required in any case. So, the resolution to be given in the answer should have been a Board resolution and not general meeting resolution.

Thank you sir for the correct guidance. All the Points raised are valid and quite easy to observe by a CS according to the need.

Moreover you have certainly missed the designation of Author along with the following words:
