Best Answer

Articles of companies usually contain provisions with regards to declaration of dividend on the pattern of regulations 85 to 94 of Table A of the Companies Act, 1956. Under the regulation 85, the power to declare a dividend vests with the general meeting, but it has no power to declare a dividend exceeding the amount recommended by the Board of Directors.
