    • Provisions in respect of passing of resolution by CIRCULATION are provided u/s 175 of the Companies Act 2013. This section provides that in order to pass a resolution by circulation, a draft of such resolution along with the necessary papers ,if any, should be circulated to all the directors, or members of the committee ,as the case may be, at their registered address. Such draft can be circulated though post or by courier or through email or fax. Such resolution is required to be approved by majority of directors or members who are entitled to vote on such resolution. After approval of the resolution by majority of directors or member’s, such resolutions shall be noted at the subsequent meeting of board or the committee thereof, as the case may be, and made part of minutes of such meeting.


      However this section provides that the directors may require that any resolution under circulation must be decided at the meeting and in that case the Chairperson shall put the resolution to be decided at the meeting of the board. However such objection is required to be made by at least 1/3 of the total number of directors.

      In case of urgency, it may not be possible to wait for the approval or implementation of an item or proposal till the next meeting of Board or its Committee. In such case, it is permissible to pass a Resolution by Circulation under Section 175 of Companies Act, 2013.
