Can any one provide me the format of Resolution for appointing additional director in a private limited company as per companies act 2013.
Secondly, instead of holding board meeting meeting for appointing additional director cant we hold EGM and directly appoint Director in a private limited company.

Here’s a concise answer to your queries:
1. Format of Board Resolution for Appointment of Additional Director (Private Ltd Co.) — Companies Act, 2013 pgsql Copy Edit BOARD RESOLUTION Date: [Date of Meeting]
“RESOLVED THAT pursuant to the provisions of Section 161(1) and all other applicable provisions, if any, of the Companies Act, 2013 and the Articles of Association of the Company, Mr./Ms. [Name of Director], who has consented to act as a Director of the Company and filed the consent and other necessary declarations, be and is hereby appointed as an Additional Director of the Company with effect from [Date].

By Order of the Board For [Company Name]
______________________ [Name] Chairman/Director 2. Can EGM be held instead of Board Meeting for appointing Additional Director? No, appointment of Additional Director is done only by the Board of Directors under Section 161(1).
EGM is used to regularize the appointment of such Additional Director in the next Annual General Meeting or an EGM convened for that purpose (within 3 months of appointment).
3. Procedure for Regularization of Additional Director Call an AGM or EGM within 3 months of appointing Additional Director.
Pass a special or ordinary resolution approving the appointment.
File necessary forms (e.g., DIR-12) with ROC.
If not regularized within 3 months, the appointment ceases to be effective.
