Separate Business of MD


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A Managing Director (MD) is generally permitted to have their own separate business. The Companies Act 2013 does not contain any specific provisions that prohibit this. While an MD can hold directorships in their own companies while employed elsewhere, this is typically subject to the agreement and policies of their primary employer. Appointment as an MD, especially with majority shareholding, often facilitates this arrangement.

05 February 2020 Can you please give reference of Case Law or The Companies Act provision.

05 February 2020 There is no provision in Companies Act, 2013 that prohibits the same. There are many people who are in employment elsewhere and become director in their own company. So that is possible, unless the company where he/she is doing job objects on the same. The person gets appointed by virtue of majority shareholding.

05 February 2020 Yes, the MD can have own business
