Company Resolutions, Notices, Meetings & Minutes was originally authored by Shri K.V. Shanbhogue, Former President, ICSI in 1977 and was frequently revised by him until his death. Thereafter, it has been continually revised by the present authors – CS (Dr.) D.K. Jain & CS Abha Jaiswal since the eighth edition in 2007, nearly the last two decades.
This book has been thoroughly revised and updated to serve as a comprehensive and practical guide for professionals engaged in Company law work. It incorporates all recent amendments, notifications and clarifications issued under the Companies Act, 2013, including the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2020. The various amended sections have come into effect from different dates as notified by the Central Government. A significant feature of the amendments is the decriminalisation of various procedural and technical offences that do not involve fraud or public harm. These changes aim to promote ease of doing business by reducing penalties, removing imprisonment provisions
for minor defaults, and granting exemptions.
The Book gives the readers a clear and structured framework of all drafting involved in the company law under the amended Companies Act. It consolidates, in one place, section-wise guidance, updated case references, statutory interpretations, and procedural notes to aid accurate and efficient application of the law in practical corporate situations.
The content has been carefully organised for convenience, clarity, and usability. It includes:
- Drafting of board and shareholder resolutions and notices
- Preparation of minutes and statutory reports
- Templates for declarations, affidavits, and agreements
- Guidance on the conduct of board and general meetings, including through audio-visual means
- Policy templates for internal governance such as CSR, risk management, and whistleblower mechanisms.
- A separate chapter on limited liability partnership.
This Edition aspires to be a complete, ready-to-use reference for company secretaries, chartered accountants, cost accountants, legal professionals, and corporate executives involved in drafting of resolutions, notices, minutes and other legal documents in respect of the Companies Act.
