Extension of AGM deadline granted for companies unable to hold annual meetings due to pandemic; no prescribed form filing required. Registrar grants companies under its jurisdiction an extension of time to hold their annual general meeting for the financial year ended 31.03.2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, invoking the proviso that permits the Registrar to extend AGM deadlines for special reasons. The extension is for the maximum period allowed under that proviso and is granted without requiring companies to file the prescribed extension form; pending and earlier rejected extension applications for that year are deemed approved so as to permit holding the AGM within the extended time.
