Question and options

Who signs and dates the minutes of a board meeting under rule 25 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014?

  1. Any two directors who were present at that meeting

  2. The chairperson of that meeting or of the next succeeding meeting

  3. The company secretary who recorded them, within thirty days

  4. The managing director, or the chairperson where there is none

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - The chairperson of that meeting or of the next succeeding meeting

Rule 25 of the Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014, made under section 118 of the Companies Act, 2013, requires the minutes of a board or committee meeting to be dated and signed by the chairperson of that meeting or of the next succeeding meeting; Secretarial Standard SS-1 says the same. Thirty days is the period for entering the minutes in the minute book, not a signing rule for the company secretary.
