Essential Role of Minutes in Corporate Governance

 


This article was first published on June 28, 2024 by lawstreetindia.


Board meetings play a key role in company governance, necessitating meticulous documentation through minutes. Section 118(10) requires adherence to ICSI secretarial standards, specifying detailed maintenance protocols for minutes. In this hotline, we discuss the recent order of the Registrar of Companies (‘ROC’) penalising Wind World (India) Limited for not complying with requirements of maintaining minutes of meeting, as stipulated under the provisions of the CA 2013, thus violating provision 118(10) of the Companies Act, 2013. We examine legal framework governing maintenance of minutes of meeting to shed light on the RoC’s approach in the said order.
