Upcoming AGM

The Upcoming AGM page provides a consolidated view of all scheduled Annual General Meetings (AGMs) for BSE- and NSE-listed companies. The following details are available:

• AGM-related details: Each row shows the stock name, date, event, LTP at record date, announcement day, and LTP at announcement.
• Market cap filters: Filter events by LargeCap, MidCap, SmallCap, MicroCap and SME segments.
• Sector filters: Filter by sectors like metals & mining, realty, construction, infrastructure investment trust, chemicals and many more.

An Annual General Meeting is a mandatory yearly assembly of a company's shareholders, where shareholders can exercise their rights and companies provide reports on their performance and future plans. Under Section 96 of the Companies Act, 2013, every company other than a One Person Company (OPC) must hold an AGM each year.

The first AGM must be held within nine months of the close of the first financial year, while subsequent AGMs must generally be held within six months of the financial year-end, with no more than a 15-month gap between two AGMs. For a March 31 year-end company, September 30 is the deadline for subsequent AGMs.

Every AGM covers a standard set of ordinary business items and may include additional special business:

Ordinary Business

• Adoption of audited financial statements (balance sheet and profit & loss account).
• Declaration of final dividend, if recommended by the board.
• Appointment or re-appointment of directors retiring by rotation.
• Appointment or re-appointment of the statutory auditor and fixing their remuneration.

Special Business

Any item beyond ordinary business, such as:

• Approval of related party transactions.
• Appointment/re-appointment of independent directors.
• Increase in authorised capital.
• Approval of remuneration of MD/WTD/Manager.

An ordinary resolution passes with a simple majority, i.e more than 50% of votes cast. A special resolution requires at least 75% approval.

Indian listed companies follow a structured statutory process leading up to and concluding the AGM:

• Board recommendation & notice: The company sends an AGM notice with financial statements/reports at least 21 clear days before the meeting date to all eligible shareholders.
• Cut-off date determination: The company specifies a cut-off date (not earlier than 7 days before the AGM) to determine shareholder voting eligibility.
• Remote e-voting window: Remote electronic voting opens for 3 days and closes at 5:00 PM on the day before the AGM.
• AGM day & live e-voting: The meeting is conducted physically, via video conferencing (VC), or other audio-visual means (OAVM). Shareholders who have not cast their remote e-vote can vote live during the meeting.
• Scrutiniser's report: The scrutiniser consolidates the votes and submits the report, after which the company declares the voting results and makes the prescribed disclosures to the stock exchanges.

Each row in Dhan's Upcoming AGM table displays the following:

• Date: The exact scheduled date for the Annual General Meeting.
• Stock Name: The BSE or NSE-listed company that is hosting the meeting.
• Event: The corporate action or event type, which in this case is an Annual General Meeting.
• Announcement Day: The exact date on which the company officially filed or announced the AGM details.
• LTP at Announcement: The Last Traded Price (LTP) of the stock on the day the AGM was publicly announced.
• LTP at Record Date: The Last Traded Price of the stock on the record date.

The controls on this calendar help you filter the noise and find specifics you need efficiently:

• Filtering by market cap: Narrow events down to a specific market capitalisation segment using the drop-down, which is useful for tracking AGMs within a specific category.
• Filtering by sector: It is used to find all the AGMs of a sector over a period of time, which can be useful for analysing dividend trends or governance changes across a sector.
• Date range: Restricts the calendar to the AGMs within a selected date range, which can help you track meetings relevant to your near-term planning.
• Individual stock search: The search bar allows you to search for a particular company name and view its scheduled AGM in the table.

• Annual General Meeting (AGM): A mandatory once-a-year meeting of the shareholders of a company, in which the shareholders review the company's financial statements, declare dividends and vote on important governance issues, etc.
• Ordinary resolution: A resolution that requires a simple majority (more than 50%) of votes cast.
• Special resolution: A resolution which needs a majority of 75% of the votes cast to be in favour.
• Scrutiniser: An independent person appointed to keep an eye on the voting process and prepare the voting report.
• Cut-off date: The date by which you must have settled shares in your demat account to be eligible to vote on AGM resolutions.
• E-voting: Electronic voting system to enable shareholders to vote remotely in an Annual General Meeting without being physically present.
• Quorum: The number of shareholders needed to hold a valid AGM.

Tracking upcoming AGMs on Dhan offers distinct advantages such as:

• Dividend visibility: Tracking AGM dates alongside record dates helps investors plan for dividend eligibility, as final dividends are often declared during an annual general meeting.
• Governance watch: Special resolutions on fundraising, related party transactions, or board changes can materially affect a company's direction. Tracking AGMs keeps investors aware of what will be voted on before it is finalised.
• Unified view across exchanges: All scheduled AGMs across BSE and NSE are consolidated in one place, eliminating the need to track individual announcements across exchange portals separately.
• E-voting deadline tracking: Remote e-voting windows close the day before the AGM. Tracking the AGM date in advance ensures shareholders act before the voting window closes.
