Dear all
I am confused with a problem, can Annual General Meeting in certain circumstances be held without giving any written notice. If the notice is given by telephone call, will that be valid. The company is a public limited company.

Dear Friend
Issue of Notice of AGM to shareholders of the company is mandatory. There is no provisions for telephonic intimation of AGM in Companies Act, 1956.

Written notice is compulsory for AGM.
Board meetings can be held at short notice if all directors agree.

Dear Deepa,
Issue of Telephonic Notice for Calling Annual Genral Meeitng is Invalid. Moreover, 21 days clear notice should be issued for calling Annual General Meeting in case of Limited Company.You can call annual general meeting at shorter period in case, if 95% of the shareholders have given their consent for the same.
