Y.2009-10, which is to be declared in the month of Sept, 2010 A.G. M.? please clarify my queries at the earliest. Thanks in advance.
1. You can appoint a new director as an additional director by passing a board resolution and within 30 days of appointment file form 32 with roc.
2. Yes he can be appointed as an additional director by passing a board resolution from the back date and file form 32 with late fee. But he can not be a subscriber from back date. However you may allot shares to him from back date.
