What's the difference between shareholders and directors? Shareholders are essentially the owners of a company, while the directors are a person or group who make and approve high-level decisions on the company's behalf.
Shareholders own the company by buying and holding its shares, acting as the company's financial supporters. Directors are responsible for day-to-day management of the business and its operations. Being a shareholder does not automatically confer the right to have a say in how that company is run on a day-to-day basis.
Obtaining Shareholders Consent: A Special resolution for strike off of the Company shall be approved at a general meeting of shareholders. It must be noted that 75% of the Company's shareholders must approve this resolution. After this, the resolution shall be submitted to the ROC in e-form MGT-14 within thirty days.
As such, although directors are legally not allowed to give preferential treatment to some shareholders over others, in practice a majority shareholder can have a great deal of influence over the company and the decisions taken by its directors.
