15
Days to file Special Resolution with the CAC.
21
Days notice for an Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The Goal of This Tool

In corporate practice, timing is everything. A single day's delay can invalidate an entire proceeding under Section 245. We've built this document to summarize all notice periods and filing deadlines into one clear sheet, helping you understand the importance of statutory timelines.

  • • AGM/EGM Notice (21 Clear Days)
  • • Special Notice (28 Days before Meeting)
