Hi Anu,
I think one of the best way is to... see the previous minutes of meetings as it was always maintained as it's a statutory requirement of the company,
Or in brief Minutes of Meet always contains :
1. Agenda of the Meeting
2. who chaired the meeting (Chairman of meeting under whom it was
conducted)
3. Presence :- who all have attended with there signs later on
4. points discussed as per the attendance
5. Entire discussion synopsis or brief in way of points..
6. concluding note of the meeting & leftout points to be discussed in
next meeting &
7. Next meeting date & venue
generally above mentioned things are covered, format can be any but contents remain same ...
hope it may be of some help to you

Hi anu,
The format given by yogesh is absolutely correct & accurate. With due respect will add a few more points. At the end pls 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 link between all the MOM in future.

Dear All,
Srishti, Ashish, Yogesh & pooja, thanks for making it clear......one more question I would like to pose, in case we write the minutes, do we need to fix on the responsibilities also, as what has been decided , or the onus lies on whom to carry out the action plan.
And, who should be made responsible for writing the minutes.
Thanks,

That is a must in the minutes of meeting. The onus of responsibility and the persons required to take action have to be mentioned in the minutes.
Better if you have a column in front of the Point to depict the same.
