24 September 2014 1. yes you can appoint a foreign national as director.

2. but issuance of CCDs will require to comply with FDI guidelines which normally include reporting to RBI regarding receipt of application money and allotment of securities. In certain industrial sectors FIPB approval is required prior to allotment of securities

in case of optionally convertible bonds, ECB guidelines need to be followed

Your banker shall assist you in this regards
