Distinguish between the following: 'E-voting' and 'Voting by show of hands'.

Answer & Explanation:

Votes before the general meeting can be cast either by 'e-voting' method or by showing hands. E-voting Voting by show of hands Governed by the provisions of section 108. Governed by the provisions of section 107. Provisions applicable to every company which has listed its equity shares on a recognised stock exchange and every company having not less than one thousand members. Applicable to all companies at their general meetings, wherein resolution is put to the vote unless a poll is demanded under section 109 or the voting is carried out electronically. The facility for remote e-voting shall remain open for not less than three days and shall close at 5.00 p.m. on the date preceding the date of the general meeting. The facility of voting by show of hands is available at the time of the meeting. During the period, when facility for e-voting is provided, the members of the company holding the shares in either physical form or in demat form, as on the cut-off date, may opt for remote e-voting. In general meeting, members who have not voted in e-voting mode can cast their votes by raising their hands. Number of votes of a member is equal to the number of shares held. Only one vote is counted for each shown hand.
