Legal Validity And Changes In Shareholder Meetings And Voting Mechanisms After Recent Amendments




Kashika Goel, OP Jindal Global University


ABSTRACT


There is a drastic change in the corporate governance in India on how shareholders meetings are held and votes cast. The COVID-19 epidemic increased the pace of change since regulators were forced to transition to virtual and electronic modes to maintain continuity. This indicates that despite the fact that these innovations are more engaging and efficient, there must be a legal basis but it must be a statutory one in order to be legal in the long term. The paper assesses the legality of virtual meetings, the changes and circulars which facilitate it, and its effect on the rights of the shareholders. To sum up, the legislation must extend beyond short-term administrative fixes and make digital engagement a part of a lawful and responsible legal framework.
