In case of EGM there is no clarity under section 100/101 and rule 17 with regard to the time day place of holding the AGM?
Hello CS Shikha,
In my opinion EGM of a company can be held at any place within India in light of Companies Mgt and Admin Rules issued by MCA from time to time. It has been mentioned in pt. 18(3)(ix).
Kindly let me know your views on the same.
Thanks
