Q.What is Voting ?

A Committees Meeting is NOT a Shareholders' Meeting — option (d).

Company meetings are broadly grouped as meetings of shareholders (members), meetings of directors, and other meetings. Shareholders' meetings include:

• Statutory Meeting
• Annual General Meeting (AGM)
• Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) …

The first Annual General Meeting of a company must be held within eighteen months from the date of incorporation, so the answer is (a) Eighteen.
