Query pertaining to section 179 of CA 2013


Section 179(3) provides for BOD powers only to be exercised by means of resolution passed at a meeting of the board; namely:-

(d) to borrow monies

(e) to invest funds of the company

 (f) to grant loans or give guarantee or provide security in respect of loans

 

Explanation under the said section provides as follows:

 

Explanation II.—In respect of dealings between a company and its bankers, the exercise by the company of the power specified in clause (d) shall mean the arrangement made by the company with its bankers for the borrowing of money by way of overdraft or cash credit or otherwise and not the actual day-to-day operation on overdraft, cash credit or other accounts by means of which the arrangement so made is actually availed of.

 

Further, section 117 provides that- A copy of every resolution or any agreement, in respect of matters specified in sub-section (3) together with the explanatory statement under section 102, if any, annexed to the notice calling the meeting in which the resolution is proposed, shall be filed with the Registrar within thirty days of the passing.

 

According to 117(3) (g) resolutions passed in pursuance of sub-section (3) of section 179.

 

Query : Whether, the board resolution passed for availing the Bank Guarantee to be furnished before court be covered u/s  179(3)(d) ?

 

Whether pledging of securities against BG will get covered under 179(3)(f) ?

 

Whether the investments of any sought shall be covered under section 179(3)(e)? 


Since, the power to invest can be delegated to a Committee. In that event, only the resolution so delegating  the powers would attract 179(3)(e) and only the said resolution can be filed instead of every investment?

It is also advisable that the investments made by the MD, Principal Officer or Committee to whom the powers are delegated are adopted by the Board in the immediate board meeting held after such investments and that resolution be filed with RoC in MGT.14.

Thanks
