Mohsin Khan, proprietor of M/s MSK and
Associates, Practicing Company Secretaries (M. No:
39046 and COP: 14571) to conduct the Secretarial Audit for the financial year 2023-24.
The Secretarial Audit Report (Form MR-3) for the financial year ended March 31, 2024, is
annexed as Annexure-E forming an integral part of this Report.
The qualifications/ adverse remarks/ observations/ suggestions/ disclosure and other
matters of emphasis made by M/s. MSK and Associates, in their Secretarial
Compliance Report dated 12th August, 2024, on the Secretarial and other related records
of the company, for the FY 2023-24 are mentioned below :-
1. The date of entry of the Minutes in the Minutes Book has been entered by hand as
against the other context being type-written.
Board's Reply:
As per board, there is no provision in the Companies Act, 2013 or the Secretarial
Standards or any other applicable law(s) that restricts the date of entry from being
entered by hand. As per management there has been no non-compliance with respect to any
provision of law.
2. As regards the Resolutions passed by the Company through Circulation in terms of
Section 175 of the
Companies Act, 2013, no brief background of the Resolutions therein has been given in
the Minutes while, the same is a mandatory requirement as per applicable Secretarial
Standards-1'
Board's Reply:
As per Secretarial Standards-1, apart from the Resolution or the decision, Minutes
shall mention the brief background of all proposals and summarise the deliberations
thereof. However, in the case of resolutions passed by circulation, such resolutions are
merely taken note of by the Board and no proposal or deliberations had took place at the
meetings.
Moreover, as per secretarial standards only the text of the Resolution(s) passed by
circulation since the last Meeting, including dissent or abstention, if any is required to
be recorded in the minutes. Though, as a better corporate governance, the Company will
give the brief background of the resolutions for the circular resolution also.
3. In the Minutes of the Board Meeting dated
26.05.2023 the heading of Item No. 09' categorically states for taking note of
disclosures and declarations received from the Directors in form MBP-1 and
DIR-8. However, on a perusal of the context of the Resolution passed therein, no
mention of Form DIR-8 to have been taken on record was found. On seeking a clarification
from the Company as regards this ambiguity, the copies of the Certificates/Declarations in
Form DIR-8 under Section 164 were produced by the Company for inspection, and it was
informed that the said disclosure was taken on record through the subsequent item No. 10.
The mentioning of Form
DIR-8 in the heading of Item No. 09 was erroneously mentioned, which in no manner
jeopardizes with the context of the resolution so passed.
Board's Reply: The comment is self-explanatory.
4. The Certified True Copy' of the Resolutions filed
Form MGT-14 as regards Adoption of new set of MOA and AOA' and for
Regularization of Mr. Kanwar Nitin Singh as an Independent Director' during
the Annual
General Meeting held on 15.09.2023 does not state the nature of the Resolutions, viz.,
Ordinary/ Special
The nature of resolution has been selected as
Special Resolution in the Form MGT-14 filed for both resolutions as mentioned in
above-mentioned comment. The nature of resolution has also been mentioned in the Minutes.
However, due to oversight, the extract may not contain the nature though it was already
correctly selected it in the form.
5. As Per Regulation 17(1) of SEBI (LODR) Regulation, 2015, the Board of Directors have
an optimum combination of Executive and Non-Executive
Directors with at least one-Woman Director and not less than fifty per cent of the
Board of Directors shall comprise of Non-Executive Directors. As regards the terminology
used in the corresponding regulation, it has been enunciated that the Board shall comprise
an optimum combination of Executive & Non-Executive Directors. On the perusal made by
me in this Audit, it has been noticed that there is only
One Executive Director on the Board against four (4) Non-Executive Directors during the
Audit period.
Though the Company has a duly constituted Board in compliance with the provisions of
the Companies
Act, 2013 read with the SEBI (LODR), 2015, yet it is suggested to the Company for the
sake of better Corporate Governance to have more than one
Executive Directors on the Board.
Board's Reply:
In the Board's view, the Company has duly complied the provisions with regard to the
constitution of the Board of Directors of the Company as laid down under the provisions of
the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. Further, it takes note of the
recommendation of the Auditor and ensures to review it in the near future.
