    Dear Sir

    Thank you for the sharing knowledge
    If we appoint Whole Time Director for 5 year and remuneration will change time to time with approval of Board of Directors in Board Meeting.
    My question is whether we required shareholder approval for change/alter in remuneration.

    If your company falls under the category of “Exempted Companies” then right issues can be done in physical mode.

    Query:

    If a Company has already obtained ISIN and falls under the exempted category then:

    1. Does it needs to submit half yearly report ?
    2. Can i transfer physical shares ?
