Dear Annu,
I don't have any material, but I will just give you an idea of what minutes of a meeting are:
Minutes of meetings are a summary of the main issues being considered, remedies suggested, and they are always presented in points.

Hi Anu,
I believe one of the best ways is to review the previous minutes of meetings as it is always maintained; it's a statutory requirement of the company. In brief, Minutes of a Meeting typically contain:
1. Agenda of the Meeting
2. The person who chaired the meeting (Chairman of the meeting under whom it was conducted)
3. Attendance: a list of attendees with their signatures later on
4. Points discussed as per the attendance
5. A brief synopsis or summary of the entire discussion in the form of points
6. Concluding notes of the meeting and any points left to be discussed in the next meeting
7. The date and venue of the next meeting
Usually, the above-mentioned items are covered. The format can vary, but the content remains the same. I hope this information is helpful to you.

Hi Anu,
The format given by Yogesh is absolutely correct and accurate. With due respect, I will add a few more points. At the end, please mention points to be discussed in the next meeting (if any were pending) or points discussed from the previous meeting (if any). This helps in keeping a link between all the minutes of the meeting in the future.

Dear All,
Srishti, Ashish, Yogesh & Pooja, thank you for making it clear. One more question I would like to pose: in case we write the minutes, do we need to fix the responsibilities as well, based on what has been decided, or does the onus lie on someone specific to carry out the action plan? Also, who should be responsible for writing the minutes?
Thank you,

Anu,
That is a must in the minutes of the meeting. The onus of responsibility and the persons required to take action have to be mentioned in the minutes. It would be better if you have a column in front of the point to depict the same.

Hi Anu,
I believe the entire responsibility for the minutes of the meeting lies with the Company Secretary. He or she is responsible for maintaining these kinds of statutory obligations. In cases where the company has a Company Secretary (CS), this individual holds the responsibility. Otherwise, anyone appointed and authorized by the Board of Directors can take on this role.
