How This Is Calculated

Companies (other than One Person Companies, which are exempt from holding an AGM at all) must hold their AGM within the prescribed period from the end of the financial year, with the first AGM having a separate, generally more generous timeline than subsequent AGMs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are One Person Companies required to hold an AGM?
No — OPCs are specifically exempt from the requirement to hold an Annual General Meeting, unlike other company types.
Can an AGM due date be extended?
Yes, in specific circumstances a company can apply to the Registrar for an extension of time to hold the AGM, though this isn't automatic and requires a formal application with justification.

Evidence and verification checklist

Before relying on this page

This page is a structured implementation summary, not the operative legal text. Portal or process acceptance of a filing does not by itself establish legal compliance - the underlying classification, authority, evidence and timeline still have to be independently correct. Where the facts are contested, high-value, or time-barred if delayed, verify the current position with the official source and, where appropriate, a qualified professional before acting.

Methodology, assumptions and sources

Scope: Computes the Annual General Meeting (AGM) due date and checks eligibility/procedure for seeking an extension, per Section 96 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Calculation logic

  1. First AGM: must be held within 9 months from the closure of the first financial year (no extension of this specific first-AGM deadline is permitted by the Registrar under the general extension provision).
  2. Subsequent AGMs: must be held within 6 months from the closure of the relevant financial year, and the gap between two consecutive AGMs must not exceed 15 months.
  3. Extension: the Registrar of Companies may, for any special reason, extend the time for holding an AGM (other than the first AGM) by a period not exceeding 3 months, on application before the due date — the calculator flags this extension route and its 3-month cap where a delay is anticipated.
