In a Board of Directors meeting of a private company held on 15th November, 2019 all the directors present, unanimously decided that the next meeting of the Board of Directors would be held on 29th November, 2019 at the registered office of the company. As a Company Secretary do you think a notice of the meeting of the Board of Directors need be sent to ensure legal compliance?

Answer & Explanation:

According to Section 173(3) of the Companies Act, 2013, a meeting of the Board shall be called by giving not less than seven days' notice in writing to every director at his address registered with the company and such notice shall be sent by hand delivery or by post or by electronic means. As per Secretarial Standard-1, the Notice of the meeting of the Board shall be given even if meetings are held on pre-determined dates or at pre-determined intervals. Therefore, in the instant case even if the directors have agreed unanimously to hold the meeting on November 29, 2019, then also the Company Secretary need to send the Notice, Agenda and the Notes thereon separately for each Meeting in the aforesaid manner to ensure legal compliance.
