No.

Date of AGM and date of signing of account can’t be same.

Take the date of board meeting in which you adopt the annual account as signing date.

Reason being when you sent notice of AGM along with annual accounts to the shareholders it is presumed to be signed.

Thats rite Mr. Ankur but can u suggest me anything to solve my problem.

Problem is now we can't extend the AGM date as its already very late as per my discussion with ROC people and even can;t change annual account dates due to some statutory liability unpaid till sept .Last date of signing the balancesheet is 30.09.09.I think there is no way out. If you have any suggestion plz help.

Thanks & Regards

If your company is a private company with few number of shareholders then you may go for shorter notice AGM.

Hold a board meeting on 30.09.09 adopt accounts and adopt AGM notice and hold the AGM on 30.09.09 itself.

we are a private concern but shareholders are about 50 including foreigners. In that case i think short notice AGM will not work. Can we file the annual accounts with a letter as encloser for delay in AGM. Will it be acceptable by the ROC or it will create more problem for us.Any other suggestion for the same ?
