As per the provisions of the section 106 of the Companies Act, 1956 rights attached to the class of shareholders can be varied by passing a special resolution or with the written consent of the 3/4th shareholders of that class. Presently we are having 4% Cumulative Redeemable Preference shares now we want to convert those shares into Non Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares.
1. My question is that whether the approval of the Board is also required for the variation, if we go for the written consent? 2. Whether any intimation is required to be filed with the ROC after variation as we are reducing the rate of interest from 4% to 0%. 3. If yes, in which Form intimation is to be filed with ROC.

Any resolution to be passed by the members is generally approved by the board so in Board meeting calling EGM pass resolution for the variation of shares.
After memebrs approval you have to initmate the ROC by filing Form 23 as per Sec. 192(4)(e).
Also check if articles of COmpany authorise such variation if not whether issue terms provide for such variation of terms of shares
