A Comparative Study Between India And The UK On Rights Of Shareholder




Soumyadip Chakraborty & Ritam Dutta, OP Jindal Global University

ABSTRACT

Shareholders are the risk capital providers, so they must be able to preserve their investment by ensuring that the board of directors is competent and that there are effective plans in place to ensure the company's long-term viability. By honoring investor rights, boards should serve the company's shareholders fairly. Many Indian legislation have their roots in British legislation since the laws of the United Kingdom have a significant impact on Indian company law. With relation to the protections offered to secure the various rights accessible to shareholders, both countries exhibit startling similarities. And yet, we observe that these rights are expressed in ways that have fundamental differences. The purpose of this research is to point out those differences with an essence of shareholder activism.
