Hi
Yes, you can nominate as per the provision of section 257 of the Companies Act, 1956.
Section 257 allows a person who is not a retiring director to be eligible for appointment to the office of director at any general meeting, if he or some member, intending to propose him has, not less than 14 days before the meeting, left at the office of the company a notice in writing under his hand signifying his candidature for the office of director or the intention of such member to propose him as a candidate for that office, along with a deposit of Rs. 500 which shall be refunded to such person or, as the case may be, to such member, if the person succeeds in getting elected as a director.
Since section 257 does not say that tender of nomination should be before a particular time on last day, rejection of nomination on ground that deposit was tendered one minute later than 3.30 p.m. i.e., office hours, for cash transactions, would be erroneous inasmuch as it contravened provisions of section 257. [Oriental Benefit and Deposit Society Ltd. v Bharat Kumar K. Shah (2001) 30 SCL 246 (Mad)].
