Annual General Meeting should be held?

• A. Within 12 months of incorporation and every 12 months after
• B. Every 6 months after incorporation
• C. Within 18 months of incorporation and at least every 15 months after each AGM
• D. Only upon written request

Answer: (C)

The timing rule for AGMs is about ensuring regular shareholder oversight. The first AGM must be held within 18 months of the company's incorporation to provide early accountability and allow shareholders to review initial accounts and directors. After that, there is a maximum gap between AGMs: not more than 15 months must pass after each AGM before the next one. This combination—within 18 months at the start, then at least every 15 months—keeps governance timely without demanding excessive scheduling. AGMs aren’t triggered only by written requests; they are mandatory, and the intervals above set the statutory timing.
