Summary: To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, non-private limited companies must file specific resolutions with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) using Form MGT-14. Required resolutions include issuing securities, borrowing funds, investing company funds, granting loans or guarantees, and approving financial statements and board reports. The list also covers the appointment of key managerial personnel, auditors, and the authorization of business diversifications, mergers, or acquisitions. Special resolutions are needed for significant actions like company name changes, alterations in the Memorandum or Articles of Association, and the issuance of preference or sweat equity shares. Private companies are exempt from some filing requirements, such as those related to internal board resolutions and specific compliance rules. Ordinary resolutions, such as changes in company names or the appointment of auditors, generally do not require MGT-14 filing. Understanding these requirements ensures proper adherence to legal and corporate governance standards.

Where it is mention list of Ordinary resolution to be filed in for MGT -14 & whether it is required to file MGT-14 for subdivision of share u/s 61
Dear Sir,
Please confirm if Form MGT-14 is required to be filed for grant of ESOPs in excess of 1% of issued capital to any particular employee in a particular year. The act specifies passing of seperate resolution for the same. Would this trigger filing of Form MGT-14?

As per Section 117 of CA 2013, any appointment, re-appointment and change in terms of appointment of Managing director is required to be intimated to ROC in form MGT 14. do this apply in case of whole time director also?
Sir
Can you advice me the percentage of share holders permission or voting require to pass a resolution to increase share capital in the WLL or P(LTD) company
Can you please post your reply to following e-mail id?
Waiting for your reply.
As per my understanding if a new auditor is appointed, after the term of 5 years, in place of retiring auditor (who is eligible for re-appointment) a special resolution need to passed in the AGM as per Section 139 (9).
Form MGT-14 needs to be filed for appointment of auditor in this case.
Please correct me if I am wrong. Hope you will reply.
Hi Divesh
A closely held company between husband and wife.
They are planning to take a home loan and the property will be registered in the name of the directors in their individual capacity.. the lending institution is insisting on the company being made an applicant to the loan as it seems they are adding the company’s income also.. is it a violation of S 185/186 of the Companies act.. if not how to proceed.. pls clarify
1. Whether a State Government Company having 3(Three) Shareholders is a Public Ltd. Company or a Pvt Ltd Company?
2. Further, whether the required resolutions being approved in the Board/General Meeting will have to be filed with the ROC through MGT-14?
As per Section 179 (e) – To invest the funds of the company.
My question, if we invest in Mutual Funds and pass respective board resolution, is it required to file MGT 14
My qwery is that whether special resolution is required for splitting shares of nominal value of rs. 100 to rs. 10. & If AoA allows by ordinary resolution to subdivide shares, then is it necessary to fileMGT 14 .
Sir
I have gone through your article.
I have one query over the issue of securities (equity shares) of just newly incorporated private limited company & this company wants to issue its equity shares to its members. As per your article, it seems that this private limited company is not required to file mgt-14 to MCA.
Is it correct interpretation of your article?
Can you please post your reply to following e-mail id?
Waiting for your reply.
Dear Sir,
