Read up imp provision s- buy-back , private placement, MOA, AOA, debentures and swaps, ESOP,comapnies rules etc. Also keep studying FEMA side-by-side for a good grip on CBT and FDI.

3. Capital reduction - extinguishment/reduction/pay off
4. Buyback - procedure + compliances + criteria
5. Transfer of shares - procedure

6. Powers of board and committees
7. Types of directors - duties/responsibilities and differences - procedure of appointment - nominee + independent + executive director
8. AGM/EGM - how to call an EGM + what items require ordinary resolution + special resolution + procedure
