Quorum refers to the minimum number of members that must be present at a meeting for it to be valid. Unless otherwise stated in a company's articles, the quorum is 5 members for a public company and 2 members for a private company. A quorum needs to be present when the meeting begins and remains throughout the voting process. If a quorum is not met within 30 minutes, the meeting will either be dissolved if requested by members or adjourned to the same time next week. Even one member present can constitute a quorum if directed by the government. Each organization determines the quorum in its governing documents, which should approximate the largest typical attendance excluding bad weather.

Quorum refers to minimum number of members who must be present at
a meeting in order to constitute a valid meeting. A meeting without the minimum quorum is invalid and decisions taken at such a meeting are not binding. Th articles of a company may provide for a quorum without which a meeting will be construed to be in valid. Unless the articles of a company provide for larger quorum, 5 members personally present in the case of a public company and 2 members personally present in the case of a private company shall be the quorum for a general meeting of a company. The term quorum is from a Middle English wording of the commission formerly issued to justices of the peace, derived from Latin quorum, "of whom", genitive plural of qui, "who". As a result, Quora as plural of quorum is not a valid Latin formation. In modern times a quorum might be defined as the minimum number of voters needed for a valid election. It has been held by courts that unless the articles otherwise provide, a quorum need to be present when the meeting commenced, and it was immaterial that there was no quorum at the time when the vote was taken. Further, unless the articles otherwise provide, if within half an hour from time appointed for a holding a meeting of a company, a quorum is not present in the person, the meeting: 1) If called upon the requisition of members, shall stand dissolved; 2) In any other case, it shall adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same time and place, or to such other day and time as the Board of Directors may determine. If at the adjourned meeting also, the quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for holding the meeting the members present shall a quorum. In case the Company Law Board call or directs the calling of a meeting, when default is made in holding an annual general meeting, the government may give directions regarding the quorum including a direction that even one member of the company present in person, or by proxy shall be deemed to constitute a meeting. Similarly the Company Law Board may, direct a meeting of the company (other than an annual general meeting) to be called and held where for any reason ii is impracticable to call a meeting and direct that even one member present in person or by proxy shall be deemed to constitute a meeting. According to Robert, Each assembly determines the number of members that constitutes a quorum in its governing documents. The quorum may also be set by law. Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised states that the quorum set in an organization's bylaws "should approximate the largest number that can be depended on to attend any meeting except in very bad weather or other extremely unfavorable conditions." In the absence of such a provision, a quorum is an assembly whose membership can be determined is a majority of the entire membership. In the meetings of a convention, unless provided otherwise, a quorum is a majority of registered delegates, even if some have departed. In a mass meeting or in an organization in which the membership cannot be accurately determined, the quorum consists of those who attend the meeting.
