Board Resolutions are required under the Companies Act only as the same has to be recorded in the Minutes books of the Board Meeting and is conclusive evidence of cumulative decsion of the board.

When is the company required to pass ordinary resolution and special resolution?

Prachi Bansal (3129 Points)

The Companies Act permits other decisions to be passed by special resolution even if they might ordinarily be passed instead by an ordinary resolution. In addition, the company’s Article of association can also specify other transactions where special resolutions are required – such a provision may be included in the company’s Articles where the shareholders want an extra level of protection against certain decisions being taken rashly.
