EXECUTION & FILING GUIDE

1. Preparation:

   • Replace all [bracketed text] with the actual information. Ensure account numbers and signatory details match the records provided to HDFC Bank exactly.
   • If your jurisdiction requires the affixing of the Company Seal, ensure it is placed near the signature of the certifying director.

2. Verification of Authority:

   • Ensure the signatories listed in the resolution are currently empowered under your company’s Articles of Association to bind the company.
   • Cross-reference the "Resolution of Board" requirements against the specific "HDFC Corporate Netbanking Application Form," as banks often have specific "pre-formatted" annexures they prefer. If HDFC provides a proprietary form, ensure the language in this resolution is appended as a supplement or that the bank form is cross-referenced here.

3. Digital Execution:

   • If using DocuSign or Adobe Sign, ensure the "Certificate of Completion" is attached to the final PDF.
   • Ensure that the "Signer" has the authority to execute board resolutions (usually a Director or Company Secretary).

4. Record Retention:

   • Maintain the original signed resolution in the "Minutes Book" of the Company as per statutory record-keeping requirements (e.g., Section 118 of the Companies Act, 2013 in India).
   • Provide a physical or certified electronic copy to the HDFC Bank Relationship Manager.
