      A Section 92 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Section 96 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Section 100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Section 101 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Section 106 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 96 of the Companies Act, 2013 provides: "Every company shall in each financial year hold in addition to any other meetings, a general meeting as its annual general meeting and shall conduct the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this section." This section prescribes the requirement for holding an AGM. The AGM must be held within 6 months after the close of the financial year. Meetings other than AGM are addressed under different sections; Section 100 deals with quorum for general meetings, Section 101 addresses adjournment of meetings, Section 106 addresses voting rights, but Section 96 specifically mandates the holding of AGM.
