01 August 2012 The instructions in Form 32 at page no 2 makes it clear.

It says

"Age of the appointee cannot be less than eighteen years"

01 August 2012 In addition to the above

Director Identification Number (DIN) is compulsory for becoming a Director and a minor is not allotted a DIN.


Therefore a minor cannot become a Director.

01 August 2012 what will be your answer IF ICAI COMPANY LAW FINAL MODULE SAYS THAT
IF PUBLIC COMPANY - MINOR NOT ELIGIBLE
IF PRIVATE COMPANY - MINOR IS ELIGIBLE, BUT HE CAN NOT BECOME A MANAGING DIRECTOR.

01 August 2012 Hi

Experts has given best answer, i will suggest you to follow their reply and module can be mistakenly said but a minor is not eligible to appoint in any form of director in any company.

Because, for private company also to be managing director he/she should be director and they will not DIN until they complete the age of majority.

So go ahead with expert.
