Relevant Legal Provision
Section 21 of the Companies Act, 2013 provides the statutory framework for the authorisation of employees to represent companies in various capacities. The section states that "save as otherwise provided in this Act, a document or proceeding requiring authentication by a company may be signed by any key managerial personnel or an officer or employee of the company duly authorised by the Board in this behalf of the company." This provision empowers the Board of Directors to delegate specific authorities to employees for conducting business on behalf of the company.
Section 179 of the Companies Act, 2013 outlines the powers of the Board of Directors, including the authority to delegate specific functions to employees and officers. When combined with Section 21, these provisions create a comprehensive legal framework allowing companies to authorise employees for specific business functions such as digital platform verification and management, ensuring that such authorisation is properly documented and legally enforceable.
