15 August 2013 Hi

Good question.

It is a normal practice that if additional director is goint to autometically vacant office of director ship, then the company can take two option to continue him as director in Board. Either you regularise him before the end of AGM through General Meeting or take the benefit of section 257 and appoint him as director in AGM and he will continue as director from the date of AGM and he will autometiccaly change their position from auditional director to director .

You can opt the second option and regularise Mr. Ramesh in AGM in AGM and File Form-32 for change in designation of director.

15 August 2013
Procedure for Regularisation of Additional Directors.

1. Call a Board Meeting for proposal of regularization of director
2. Hold a Board Meeting and call general meeting.
3. Hold a General Meeting for passing of resolution under section 257 to regularize the additional director.
4. File Form-32, with ROC, of change in position of director attach certified copy of shareholders meeting.
5. Take entry in Minutes.
