If a pvt ltd company has in its AOA provision related to Notice of General Meeting that General Meeting Shall be called by giving a Notice of 7 Clear days.
Is here any non comliance on the part of Company? Now What should be Done? Do the Company need to alter AOA? Because company was formed in 2002 and this mistake has been caught now.
Sections 171 to 196 apply to general meetings of a public company and of a private company which is a subsidiary of a public company and not to private companies.
Hence Section 171 specifying 21 days notice is not applicable to private company. If the article contains 7 days notice then 7 days notice is to be given. Notice lesser than 7 days will be subject to consent for shorter notice by all the members in case of AGM and in the case of EGM, consent by members holding not less than 95% of paid up capital or 95% of the total voting power, as the case may be.
