Annual General Meeting (AGM) — Glossary

◈Definition

An AGM is the annual shareholder meeting mandated under Section 96 of the Companies Act 2013. Every company (except a One Person Company) must hold an AGM each year, and the gap between two AGMs cannot exceed 15 months. At the AGM, shareholders approve the annual accounts, appoint or reappoint auditors, and consider ordinary and special business. AGM dates anchor the MGT-7 and AOC-4 filing windows.
