As per Section 173 of the Act, all public and private companies are required to hold a minimum of four board meetings in a calendar year. Any contravention of the section may result imposition of penalties by the ROC.
Federal and state-level laws, as well as a company's incorporation documents, require public and private corporations—including C-corps—to have boards of directors (BoDs). Companies that are formed as LLCs (limited liability companies) do not have the same requirements, although some still choose to assemble a board.
Every company is required to hold 4 Board Meetings in a year. While a Small Company can hold only 2 Board meetings in a calendar year i.e., one board meeting in each half of the calendar year. However, the gap between the two board meetings should not be less than 90 days.
Most bylaws stipulate that the board must meet at least once a year. However, many organizations have found that meeting more frequently can be beneficial. How often a board should meet ultimately depends on the needs of the organization.
AGMs are a legal requirement for public companies, and private companies may also hold AGMs if their constitution requires it. AGM attendees include the company's directors, shareholders, senior management, company secretaries, senior management, legal representatives, and auditors.
As per Section 173(1), every company is required to hold a minimum number of four meetings of its Board of Directors every year in such a manner that not more than one hundred and twenty days shall intervene between two consecutive meetings of the Board.
The job of a board of directors is to provide oversight for the company, which means they need to be regularly updated on the company's status and recent developments. For this reason, most boards meet at least once a quarter.
Small companies must have a maximum of two meetings in a financial year. Whereas a private limited company that is not considered a small company must conduct four board meetings in a financial year.
The quorum is to have at least two directors or one-third of the total number of directors present at office at the time – whichever is higher of the two numbers. In case the one-third of the number of directors present results in a fraction, it shall be rounded off to one.
