Appoint of a director

This query is : Resolved 

23 August 2013 In case of a private limited company, can we directly appoint someone as the director of the company or we need to first appoint that person as an additional director in a board meeting and then appoint him as a director in the subsequent AGM?

Please clarify.

23 August 2013 Also, please clarify whether any reference document needs to be attached to form 32 in case of appointment or retirement?

24 August 2013 Sir, What if we filed Form 32 directly appointing the person as a DIRECTOR instead of ADDITIONAL DIRECTOR?

Should we file another form 32 for appointment as additional director taking the basis that both the activities are within 30 days and AGM also held within that 30 days itself, we erroneously filed Form 32 for appointment before Form 32 of Additional Director.??

24 August 2013 Yes, you can directly appoint ad director instead of additional director.

If you have already appointed as director then you can do so in general meeting and no need to again appoint him as additional director.

24 August 2013 Thank you Sir! Thank you very much.

24 August 2013 My Pleasure...............
