Solution
- The agenda should accompany the Annual General Meeting announcement. The Companies Act, 2013 requires members to be notified of meeting processes, including special resolutions. Changes to the Articles of Association are crucial and must be mentioned in the agenda for openness and compliance.
- Company Articles of Association (AOA) must be changed by Special Resolution. Section 14 of the Companies Act, 2013 requires a 75% majority of voting members at the AGM or EGM to enact a resolution.
- The Registrar of Companies must receive the special resolution to change the Articles of Association. Section 14 of the Companies Act, 2013 requires the firm to submit Form MGT-7 (Annual Return) and Form MGT-14 with the certified copy of the resolution within 30 days of passing it.
