Document background
Annual Meeting Minutes are essential corporate documents required under Indian law, specifically mandated by the Companies Act 2013 and regulated by Secretarial Standards (SS-2). These minutes serve as the official record of proceedings during a company's Annual General Meeting, documenting key decisions, resolutions, and discussions. The document must be prepared within 30 days of the meeting and maintained at the registered office of the company. Annual Meeting Minutes are crucial for corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and shareholder transparency, providing an authoritative reference for future corporate actions and legal matters. They must include specific statutory information such as attendance details, voting results, and resolutions passed, while following prescribed formatting and authentication requirements.
