What is Company Law Resolutions & Compliance?

Company Law documentation covers the governance, decision-making, and transactional records of a company after incorporation - distinct from the foundational MOA and AOA. These documents evidence the lawful exercise of corporate powers by the board and shareholders, and ensure compliance with statutory obligations.

In India, company law is governed by the Companies Act, 2013, which replaced the Companies Act, 1956, and is administered by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) through the Registrar of Companies and the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).

Key documents include board and shareholder resolutions under Sections 114, 117, and 179, director appointments and resignations under Sections 152, 161, and 168, appointment of auditors under Section 139, company secretary under Section 203, and alteration of MOA/AOA under Sections 13 and 14.

Corporate transaction documents include amalgamation agreements (Sections 230–232), joint venture agreements, share underwriting agreements, conversion of a private company to public (and vice versa) under Section 18, and stock exchange listing agreements under the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Winding-up is now governed largely by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 for insolvency, and the Companies Act, 2013 for voluntary and tribunal-ordered winding-up. All these documents are admissible as evidence under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023.
