Amrutha has ceased to be a director of CSS Ltd. by resignation. However, she continues to be the shareholder of the company. She now wants to inspect the minutes of the Board meeting in electronic form which she had attended during her tenure as a director of the company. Is she entitled to inspect the minutes of those Board meetings of CSS Ltd. as per the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013?

Answer & Explanation:

As per para 7.7.1 of SS-1, the minutes of meetings of the Board and any committee thereof can be inspected by the Directors. Director is entitled to inspect the minutes of the meeting held before the period of his directorship. A director is entitled to inspect the minutes of the meetings held during the period of his directorship even after he/she ceases to be a director. Inspection of the minutes may be provided in physical or electronic form. While inspection of minutes book, the Company Secretary or the official of the company authorised by the Company Secretary to facilitate inspection shall take all precautions to ensure that the minute's book is not mutilated or in any way tampered by any person. Hence, Amrutha can inspect the minutes of the Board meetings held during her tenure as director even after she ceases to be the director relating to her tenure as directorship.
