What should be the resolution number of this board meeting?

Board Resolution for Form INC 20-A
I have incorporated a new private limited company. Since the date of incorporation, there were 8 board resolutions so far. like the resolution to open a bank account, resolution to appoint the statutory auditor, etc. Now when the board meets again for the Commencement of Business what should be the resolution number whether it will be 1 or it will be the next number after the previous resolution number that is 9.

Dear Sharmaji,

Thanks for answering my question. I mean want to know.

Resolutions passed after Incorporation but before the commencement of business,
and Resolutions passed after the commencement of business.

Suppose my company's date of incorporation is 10 AUG 2021 and now the company wants to file Form INC-20A, for that one board resolution needed. Suppose 8 resolutions are already passed so what should be the resolution number needed for Form INC-20A. Whether it will be 9 or 1. Does the financial year start after incorporation or after the commencement of business?

Following is the extract from Guidance Note on Board Meeting issued by ICSI

Numbering of Resolutions Every such Resolution shall carry a serial number. During e-filing, companies are required to quote Resolution numbers in certain cases. Numbering would facilitate the above and also enable ease of reference. The company may choose to follow its existing system of numbering, if any or any new system of numbering, which should be distinct and enable ease of reference or cross-reference. Illustrations (i) Serially numbering on Calendar Year basis: “Circular Resolution No. 1/2015”, “2/2015”, “3/2015” and so on…. (ii) Serially numbering on financial year basis: “Circular Resolution No. 1/2015-16”, “2/2015-16”, “3/2015-16” and so on… (iii) Continuous numbering across years: Circular Resolution No. 10, 11, 12 … and so on... In any case, the company should follow a uniform and consistent system while numbering the Resolutions
