Special notice

 Special Notice means the 14 clear days’ notice that is required to be given by shareholders to a registered company of an intention to propose certain resolutions at a general meeting of the company. The company must then give notice of the resolution when it calls the relevant meeting (ordinary resolution or special resolution as the case may be). If that is not practicable, notice can be given in newspapers or in any other mode allowed by the articles, not less than 7 days before the meeting.

It is pertinent to note that Special Notice and Special Resolution are not connected. One does not require the other. The object of giving special notice is to invite the special or pointed attention of the members to the particular resolution. Under the Companies Act, 1956, Sections 225, 257 and 284 require special notice and the articles may also require special notice to be given on other matters
