Secretarial Correspondences


The secretarial correspondence may be classified under the following heads.

With the Directors : As the secretary works as an employee of the company, his letters to the directors must reflect the due deference. At times the directors may happen to be inexperienced and may seek the guidance of the secretary in matters relating to its management. Even in such cases the secretary must behave properly and should not forget his subordination. The other occasions when he may have to address the directors are :

·  When a director who is absent from the meeting asks for a report of its proceedings.

·  When a director proposes in writing that a particular matter should be placed on the agenda and the chairman asks the secretary to do the needful.

·  When a director proposes some course of action which is not in the interest of the company or which is illegal or ultra vires.

·  When writing the above types of letters the secretary should exercise great tact and state nothing that is likely to offend the director.

With the Shareholders : Among the many difficult matters that a secretary has to deal with are requests from shareholders for information regarding the affairs of the company. It includes requests for providing information about a forthcoming dividend, the likelihood of a change in its directorate any modification of its business policy, the possibility of its amalgamation with another company, etc. The drafting of replies to such requests call for great tact and direction on the part of the secretary. The general principle is that such information should not be communicated in advance to the share holders. Until it is made available to all shareholders alike, the leakage of this type of information injures the reputation of the company. On the other hand, there is no harm if the secretary supplies information regarding ordinary details of the company’s affairs and satisfies the legitimate curiosity of any shareholder. The secretary may also receive complaints on various matters such as an unsatisfactory rate of dividend declared, their failure to patronise a share holder by not accepting his tender, etc. Such matters are very delicate and the secretary must take every precaution and ensure that the writer of the complaints is duly convinced of the fact that the management has taken a particular step for promoting the best interests of the company.

With the Office Staff : A secretary works as the head of the administrative staff working under him. As such it is his duty to see that all members of the staff work properly, while discharging their duties in the interest of the company. He has to maintain discipline amongst them. His correspondence with the staff must, therefore, be characterized by a note of authority and firmness and decisiveness tempered with fairness, sympathy and regard for their welfare.

With the Registrar of companies : The secretary, in his capacity as a responsible official of the company, has to see that the provisions of the Company’s Act are complied with. In this connections he has to go through certain formalities and to submit periodically statements, returns, etc., to the Registrar of companies. He has also to carry on correspondence with the Department of Company Law Administration, Government.

Dear Sir,


I have the honour to invite your attention to the agenda of the next meeting of the Board of Directors, scheduled on 25 March - 2008. I shall request you to note in the agenda that an important item in it is the consideration of the Balance Sheet and the Annual Report to be placed in the Annual General Meeting. The main point to be decided at the meeting is the appropriation of a considerable balance as shown in the Profit and Loss Account. This part of the agenda deserves special attention as on account of it is to be decided whether a large part of the profits should be appropriated. It is to be decided whether a large part of the profits should be appropriated to the Reserve Fund with a meagre provident for the division disbursement or whether a dividend at high rates be declared. In view of the recently proposed schemes for the expansion of the Company’s business, it seems advisable that a large part of the profits should be appropriated to the Reserve Fund.


As the above matter requires due consideration and is of vital importance, you are requested to attend and give your valuable suggestions at the meeting of the Board of Directors.


Thanking you.

The Shareholders of the Company


Gentlemen,


I enclose herewith a notice of an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on Monday, the 24th March - 2008 for considering a special Resolution for the approval and adoption of a revised set of Articles of Association of the Company.


As you might be knowing, the Articles of the Association of the company were framed in 1947. Various provisions have been inserted in the Companies Act since then. Besides, with the passage of time new situations have arisen and new factors in the running of the company have come to light. In view of these developments the Articles of Associations have become antiquated. It is therefore found imperative to have revised set of Articles of Association.


The Directors do not propose to make any alternation in the Articles to the prejudice of the shareholders. Nevertheless, it may be pointed out that they intend to make a change in the remuneration of the Directors for attending the meetings of the Board. According to the present Article 95, the Director’s remuneration is fixed at $ 100 for every meeting. Under Article 109 of the revised Articles, it is proposed to alter the remuneration to sum not exceeding $ 200 for every meeting. A copy of the revised set of Article proposed to be adopted and a copy of the existing Articles may be inspected by any shareholder at the registered office of the company at any time during office hours.

Dear Sir,


With reference to your letter of 25th January - 2008, I have to inform you that before deciding to recommend the rate of dividend, the Directors fully considered all the points raised by you. In their opinion, it was in the best interests of the shareholders as a whole to strengthen the financial position of the Company by appropriating a large portion of its profits to the Reserve Fund and thereby limiting the dividend rate. The chairman proposes to explain the matter in greater detail at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company.

Dear Sir,


With reference to the accompanying notice calling an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company to consider and if thought fit to pass Resolutions to increase the capital of the company, you are informed that the company has planned a programme of expansion to play its part in achieving the production target for the steel industry set by the Government under the 7th Five Year Plan. The expansion programme will entail considerable capital expenditure, notwithstanding that a substantial part of the plant and equipment will be manufactured in India, restricting imports to such items as cannot be fabricated within the country. A part of this capital expenditure will be met from the internal resources of the company and borrowings on cash and credit facilities available from the State Bank of India on the security of debentures. As regards the balance, it is proposed to issue additional capital to the extent of $ 150,000 accordingly the authorised capital will increase from $ 500,000 to $650,000. It is also proposed, as stated above, to issue 15000 additional Ordinary Shares of $10 each at per.


It is intended to offer to the existing shareholders one share for every two already held by them : for every old share, a coupon for a half share, transferable by delivery, two to such coupons to be converted into one share.


It is proposed to call $ 50 per share on application. The remaining amount $ 50 per share will be called up later either in one lump sum or in such instalments and at such time or times as the Board of Directors may deem fit.
