A board resolution is the formal record of a decision passed by a company’s board of directors, drafted and preserved as part of its statutory records under the Companies Act, 2013. TaxClue’s CA/CS team drafts the full range of secretarial and legal documents — board resolutions, ordinary and special resolutions, meeting notices, agendas and minutes — each worded correctly for the specific decision, and files Form MGT-14 with the MCA where a resolution requires it. This is a drafting and advisory service, not a single statutory registration, so there is no one form or timeline that fits every document.

MGT-14

When it appliesCertain board and special resolutions must be filed with the ROC in Form MGT-14 within 30 days of passing — we identify these and file for you.

Understand It

What Is Board Resolutions & Legal Documents?

A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.

In simple terms

A board resolution is a written record of a decision made by a company’s directors. Related legal documents — notices, agendas, minutes and shareholder resolutions — evidence that the decision was taken and recorded properly.

Legally

Under the Companies Act, 2013, boards and shareholders act by passing resolutions at duly convened meetings (or by circulation, where allowed). Board and general-meeting proceedings must follow the ICSI Secretarial Standards SS-1 and SS-2, and specified resolutions must be filed with the Registrar in Form MGT-14.

Governing authority

There is no single authority for a drafting service. Resolutions are internal company records; filings such as MGT-14 go to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) via the MCA21 V3 portal. Secretarial Standards are issued by the ICSI.

Validity

A resolution takes effect once validly passed and remains a permanent part of the company’s statutory records. Minutes must be maintained indefinitely; MGT-14, where required, is filed within 30 days of passing.

Why It Matters

Why Do You Need Properly Drafted Resolutions?

A decision that is not minuted correctly can be challenged, rejected by a bank or authority, or attract compliance issues. Here is why precise drafting matters.

01

Legally Valid Records

A resolution worded to match the exact decision and the relevant section of the Companies Act stands up to scrutiny from auditors, banks and regulators.
02

Banks & Authorities Ask For Them

Opening an account, availing a loan, or authorising a signatory almost always needs a certified board resolution in the correct format.
03

MGT-14 Compliance

Several board and special resolutions must reach the ROC in Form MGT-14 within 30 days. We identify which apply and file them so you stay compliant.
04

Secretarial Standards

Notices, agendas and minutes drafted to SS-1 and SS-2 keep your statutory records clean and audit-ready.
05

Investor & Due-Diligence Ready

Funding rounds, ESOPs and share allotments turn on clean resolutions and minutes — investors review these during due diligence.
06

Avoid Disputes

Clear minutes of who decided what, and when, protect the company and directors if a decision is ever questioned.

What Do We Need to Draft Your Documents?

Because this is a drafting service, the exact inputs depend on the decision. In general we need your entity details, a clear description of the decision, and signatory details for any filing. Everything is collected securely online.

Important before we draft

Resolution type matters

Board resolutions, ordinary resolutions and special resolutions differ in majority and procedure. We confirm the correct type for your decision before drafting.

MGT-14 is not always required

Only specified resolutions (certain board decisions and all special resolutions) need MGT-14. We identify whether yours does — you do not file where it is not required.

DSC needed for filing

If MGT-14 or another form must be filed, the authorised signatory needs a valid Class-3 Digital Signature Certificate. Drafting alone needs no DSC.

30-day filing window

Where MGT-14 applies, it must be filed within 30 days of passing the resolution. Share the decision date with us so nothing is missed.

Minutes are permanent records

Minutes drafted to SS-1 / SS-2 must be entered in the minute book and kept indefinitely. We provide them in the correct, sign-ready format.

Step by Step

How the Drafting Process Works

From your decision to sign-ready documents — handled end to end, entirely online.

01

Consultation

Tell us the decision or transaction. We confirm the entity type and the correct document(s) needed.

02

Resolution Type Check

We determine whether a board, ordinary or special resolution applies, and whether MGT-14 is triggered.

03

Drafting

Our CA/CS team drafts the resolution, notice, agenda and minutes precisely for your decision.

04

Your Review & Signature

You review the drafts, we refine as needed, and directors sign the final documents.

05

Filing (if required)

Where a resolution needs it, we file Form MGT-14 with the MCA and share the SRN acknowledgement.

06

Records & Certified Copies

We hand over final documents and certified true copies for banks, investors or authorities.

How Long It Takes

How Long Does It Take?

Stage	Expected Time
Simple board resolution / consent letter	Same working day to 1–2 days
Notice, agenda & minutes for a meeting	2–3 working days
Special resolution with MGT-14 filing	Draft in 2–3 days; MGT-14 filed within the 30-day window

Timelines depend on the document and how quickly details are shared, so no single deadline fits every request. Where MGT-14 or another ROC filing applies, it is filed within the statutory 30-day window after the resolution is passed.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a board resolution?

A board resolution is a formal, written record of a decision taken by a company’s board of directors — for example, opening a bank account, appointing a director, or approving borrowing. It is passed at a board meeting (or by circulation where permitted) and preserved in the company’s minutes as part of its statutory records.

What is the difference between an ordinary and a special resolution?

An ordinary resolution is passed by a simple majority (more than 50%) of members voting at a general meeting. A special resolution needs at least a 75% majority and is required for major decisions — such as altering the MOA/AOA, changing the registered office between states, or reducing capital. All special resolutions must be filed with the ROC in Form MGT-14.

What is Form MGT-14 and when is it filed?

MGT-14 is the MCA form used to file certain resolutions with the Registrar of Companies under Section 117 of the Companies Act, 2013. It must be filed within 30 days of passing the resolution. It covers all special resolutions and specified board resolutions (for example, certain borrowings and investments). Not every resolution needs MGT-14 — we identify whether yours does.

Do all board resolutions need to be filed with the ROC?

No. Most routine board resolutions are internal records and are not filed. Only specified board resolutions and all special resolutions require filing in Form MGT-14. We check which category your resolution falls into before advising on any filing.

Can you draft a resolution for opening a bank account?

Yes. A board resolution authorising the opening and operation of a bank account, and naming the authorised signatories, is one of the most common documents we draft. We provide it in a bank-ready format with a certified true copy where the bank requires one.

Is a Digital Signature Certificate needed?

Drafting a resolution or minutes needs no DSC. A DSC is only required when a form such as MGT-14 has to be filed with the MCA — in that case the authorised signatory needs a valid Class-3 DSC.

Do LLPs pass board resolutions?

An LLP does not have a board of directors, so it does not pass "board resolutions" in the company sense. Instead, partners record decisions through consents and resolutions as provided in the LLP agreement. We draft the appropriate resolution or consent document for LLP decisions.

What are Secretarial Standards SS-1 and SS-2?

SS-1 and SS-2 are standards issued by the ICSI governing the conduct of board meetings and general meetings respectively, including how notices, agendas, quorum and minutes are handled. Drafting your documents to these standards keeps your records compliant and audit-ready.

Can a resolution be passed without holding a meeting?

Yes, in many cases a board resolution can be passed by circulation without a physical meeting, subject to the conditions in the Companies Act and SS-1. Certain matters, however, must be decided only at a duly convened meeting. We advise which route applies to your decision.

How much does resolution drafting cost?

Because this is a drafting and advisory service spanning many document types, the fee depends on the document(s) required and whether a filing such as MGT-14 is involved. We confirm a clear custom quote after a quick understanding of your requirement — with no hidden professional charges.

What documents can you draft besides board resolutions?

We draft the full range of secretarial and legal documents — ordinary and special resolutions, meeting notices and agendas, minutes of board and general meetings, directors’ and shareholders’ consents, and supporting documents for changes in directors, auditors, capital or registered office.

What happens to the minutes after a resolution is passed?

The minutes recording the resolution must be entered in the company’s minute book, signed as required, and kept permanently. They form part of the statutory records and may be inspected by auditors, or reviewed during due diligence and funding rounds.

How do I draft a board resolution correctly?

A board resolution should identify the company, the meeting date and place, the specific decision and the relevant section of the Companies Act, name any authorised person, and be recorded in the minutes signed by the chairman. The wording must match the exact decision — a generic template often fails a bank or auditor check. Our CA/CS team drafts it sign-ready for your specific decision.

Which resolutions must be filed with the ROC in Form MGT-14?

All special resolutions must be filed in MGT-14 within 30 days, along with specified board resolutions under Section 179(3) — such as borrowing money, investing funds, granting loans or approving financial statements. Ordinary routine board resolutions generally are not filed. We identify which of your resolutions triggers an MGT-14 filing.

What is the difference between a board resolution and a shareholders' resolution?

A board resolution is passed by the directors at a board meeting (or by circulation) and covers management decisions. A shareholders' resolution — ordinary or special — is passed by the members at a general meeting and is needed for matters reserved to the owners, such as altering the MOA/AOA, increasing authorised capital or approving a special-resolution item.

How are minutes of a board meeting drafted under SS-1?

Under Secretarial Standard SS-1, minutes must record the meeting's date, time and venue, the directors present, the business transacted, the decisions and the dissent (if any). They must be entered in the minute book within 30 days, signed and dated by the chairman, and kept permanently. We draft minutes in the correct SS-1 format.

Can you provide ready-to-use resolution templates for common decisions?

Yes. Alongside drafting a specific resolution, we can provide format templates for recurring decisions — such as opening a bank account, appointing an auditor or authorising a signatory — so your team can reuse them correctly for future meetings while staying aligned with the Companies Act and Secretarial Standards.
