FAQ ON COMPANY LAW:

• Query:   We have a query regarding the date of Annual General Meeting of company incorporated on 19th December 2015. Now our query is regarding the date of Annual General Meeting required to be held?

Answer: Section 96(1) of the Companies Act 2013 provides that in case of first Annual General Meeting, it shall be held within a period of nine months from the date of closing of the first financial year and in any case, within a period of six months, from the date of closing of the financial year.

Further, Section 2(41) of the Companies Act 2013 defines financial year in relation to any company or body corporate as the period ending on 31st day of March every year and where it has been incorporated on or after 1st day of January of a year, the period ending on 31st day of March of the following year, in respect whereof financial statement of the company or body corporate is made up

Thus, the Annual accounts of the company incorporated before 1st January 2016 shall be closed on 31st March 2016 and consequently AGM shall be held within a period of 9 months from the date of closing of the first financial year, i.e., 31st December 2016.

Be thankful for hard times in your life, try not to look at them as bad things but as opportunities to grow and learn.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it’s all that matters.  -Audrey Hepburn

The search for happiness is the main reason for unhappiness. Accept life the way it comes, as a result, you’ll find happiness in every moment of your life.

Never win people with arguments rather defeat them with your smile because people, who always wish to argue with you, cannot bear your silence.
