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 Hi

Generally their is no restriction that a company can directly appoint a director in general meeting. Before doing that you should ensure that what your article permit to do this.

Generally, the person in private limited company is appointed as additional director under section 260 by the Board of director. the tenure of such director will be from the date of appointment till the date of AGM.

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.??

Ajay Mishra (Expert)
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.
