Entity-specific watchouts

Private Limited

Use the classic board-resolution pathway, but still reconcile shareholder thresholds, constitutional restrictions, and filing-driven timing before circulation.

• Check whether member approval is also required under the Companies Act, 2013 or the Articles.
• Keep the register updates, ROC filings, and certified true copy trail aligned with the board date.
• Where banking, cap table, or governance powers shift, update the internal authority matrix immediately after approval.

Section 8

Section 8 entities need an added compliance lens around objects, governance sensitivities, and not-for-profit restrictions.

• Ensure the operative text is consistent with the charitable / not-for-profit objects of the entity.
• Check whether regulator, donor, or grant-linked approvals sit alongside the core board approval.
• Be conservative around remuneration, related party, and structural change documentation.
