As per the provisions of section 268 of the Act, CG approval is required where there is any amendment of any existing provisions in the memorandum or articles or an agreement or resolution relating to the appointment or re-appointment of a managing or whole time director or of any other director not liable to retire by rotation.
The provisions of this section are, thus, attracted only when there is an amendment in the existing provisions in the articles of association, etc., and not when a new provision is inserted in the articles of association of a company, etc., relating to the appointment or re-appointment of a managing or whole time director or of any other director not liable to retire by rotation, since the same does not constitute an amendment. [Letter No.1 (120)/CL-I/65, dated 4th November, 1965]
A director not liable to retire by rotation includes an additional director, an alternate director, a director appointed to fill casual vacancy, or a nominated director.
