Dear Experts,
What is the difference between Bank Guarantee and Indemnity Bond?
In contract negotiations, sometimes this Bank guarantee V Indemnity Bond issue come up?
wherein the service receiver insist more upon Bank Guarantee?
Thanks

Respected Sir/Madam,
Our's is a Pvt.Ltd.Co.registered under the Companies Act 1956.We are 4 brothers & each of us own 25% shares each after the passing away of our father.Two of my brothers are running the Co. in the capacity of directors.The last EGM was held on 31st August 2005 and since then the Co./directors have not held any AGM/EGM till date.The Annual A/c's & Annual Return's of the Co. has also not been filed for the last continuous 4years. The first directors of the Co. were my father & second brother. They appointed my fourth brother as director by a board resolution DT:2nd October 2009.Now the Articles of Association of the Co.says, “The Directors” means directors for the time being of the Company and “The Board of Directors” means “The Board of Directors” for the time being of the Company. Also The board shall have power at any time and from time to time to appoint any person as director as an addition to the board and any director so appointed shall hold office only till the next AGM and shall then be eligible for
re-election.Now as no AGM or EGM has been held since Aug.2005,does it not imply that the directors are holding office as directors, without authorization from the members vide an AGM or EGM and hence ceased to exist as directors from 1st December 2006. Myself & my 3rd brother had vide our notice DT:28th August 2009, called upon the board to convene an EOGM under Section 169 of Companies Act 1956 and induct us as directors. The board failed to convene the EOGM within the prescribed time limit and hence we as requisitionists have called for holding the EGOM on 16th November 2009, after completing all formalities as prescribed by law.
I hope kind Sir that I have given you the proper back ground to my case and request you to kindly bear with me for all the trouble that I’am giving you.
Now what I would like to know from you kind Sir is,
(1)Do the directors still have the first choice to select one amongst themselves to chair the EOGM on the 16th inspite of the fact that they were never re-elected after August 31st 2005 as no AGM or EGM was held after that.
(2)In the event that one of the directors chair the meeting I’am aware of the fact that they will vote us out because of the casting vote and block the resolution to induct us as directors and in the bargain re-elect themselves as directors and continue their merry illegal ways.
(3)I request you kind Sir to suggest me some legal remedy to address our grievances.
(4)Can we file criminal charges as one of the directors has drawn a big amount under the guise of housing loan in 2006 but no house has been purchased by him and he has invested the money elsewhere. I have the copy of a letter written to him by my father in the capacity of director of the company asking him to repay the loan or else the company will take legal steps to recover the same. Unfortunately my father has passed away and now there is nobody to take action. Please note that this letter was sent by registered A/D and I posses the original receipt.
Lastly I’am extremely sorry to bother you with our troubles but humbly request you Kind Sir to take some time off your busy schedule and suggest me a few legal options to right the wrong being done to me & my 3rd brother.
Thanking You, I remain,
Yours faithfully,
R V SHASTRY DT:13th NOV 2009.

pls let me know whether a board meeting is required to be called by a company for taking on rec ord limited review report where the L.R. was conducted after publishing unaudited results.
From the reading of clause 41 I understand that taking on record of LR by the board is necessary only where there is variation of 10% or more in the net profit/loss.
Pls revert.
Regards

Sir,
We had taken a term loan of Rs.40 lacs from a multi state schedule bank in the year 1999 (april to be precise ). To be repaid in 42 months.
But the things went totaly the other way and the project remained incomplete due to shortage of fund. As the actual amount required was more than double the loan sanctioned.
The bank never disburssed the promised additional amount (verbal promises only ) and for about 4 years we hanged on to get some help from the bank.We then lost interest and ability to do anything further.
Now suddenly after all these years they last year june sent us a notice to remain present before an arbritator appointed by bank itself. we attend the dates but what
we want to know is , , ,
Is not our case time barred after so many years ? ? ? ?
We have never given any commitment in writing to the bank for repayment ? ?
Bank had sent 2 / 3 reminders by ordinary posts ? ? ?
Can some one from the Lawyers Club help me
and guide me ? ? ?
My friends tell that its time barred and no need to worry But I want to have a legal word for this and to know about Limitation Act for time barring recovery by bank.
Pl help me as i am in dark about the future development.

A Private Limited /Limited Company recieved deposits from General Public and failed to repay /return the Deposits to the Depositors.
In AP-Under Protection of Depositors Act- The Dist. Collector ( in Districts) and Commissioner of Police ( in Hyderabad ) are the Competent Authorities to deal with claims of the Depositors against the Trader /Firm /Person who received the deosits
I request the opinion -
Whether the Company Registered under Companies Act, can dispute the Authority of the District Collector under Depositors Protection Act, if a claim is made against the said Company before Distirct collector !
