STATUTORY & WORKFLOW FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions: Sign Board Resolution Online

Can Board Circular Resolutions be passed and signed electronically under the Companies Act, 2013?

Yes. Section 175(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 and Secretarial Standard-1 (SS-1) explicitly permit sending draft resolutions and necessary papers by electronic means (such as email and secure signing portals) and receiving director assent/dissent electronically.

Do banks accept Aadhaar eSigned Certified True Copies (CTC) of Board Resolutions?

Yes. Leading corporate banks, NBFCs, and financial institutions in India accept Board Resolutions and Certified True Copies signed by Directors or the Company Secretary via UIDAI Aadhaar eSign, especially when accompanied by Inscriben's verifiable cryptographic audit trail.

When is a physical USB DSC token still required instead of Aadhaar eSign?

While internal Board Resolutions, Circular Resolutions, Certified True Copies for banks, and commercial contracts can be signed with Aadhaar eSign or Inscriben Sign, statutory e-Forms uploaded directly to the MCA21 v3 portal (such as AOC-4, MGT-7, PAS-3) require a CCA-issued Class 3 DSC token registered on the MCA portal.
