Who it’s for
When you may not need it — A proprietorship has no Companies Act secretarial framework. Do not use a template board resolution without checking authority, disclosure, quorum, interested-director and filing requirements.

Questions founders ask
Can a board approve anything the shareholders can approve?
No; authority depends on the Act, AOA and transaction.
Can minutes be created months later from memory?
Records must be timely and accurate; reconstruction requires a transparent remediation plan, not invented evidence.
Does MCA acceptance prove legal validity?
No. Portal acceptance does not cure defective authority or facts.
