13 September 2014 Dear Anil,

For appointment of MD and WTD in a private company CG approval is not required. Kindly refer section 196 read with section 197 of CA 2013.

Thanks

14 September 2014 Thanks for your reply Sir.

Kindly refer below link. This is article in Economic Times dated 12 Sep 2014

http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2014-09-12/news/53851116_1_new-companies-the-companies-act-corporate-affairs

One of the paragrah in the article says -

The new act withdraws some exemptions and privileges that were available to private companies, including the filing of a declaration of commencement of business and getting the central government's sanction for appointment of managing or whole-time directors or managers.

Kindly let me have your views on this.Thanks
