Can an employee be designated as Director viz. Production Director/Sales Director etc. even if he is not appointed as director in of Board of Directors. Kindly clarify position under Companies Act 2013.

A director can be appointed on Board only. Also, an employee can be non-executive director and not executive.

Dear Mam, The question is not related to appointment of a director in BOD but to designate an employee as director, who is not a member of BOD. Company wants to designate its senior employees as director- finance, director - production, director - operational. Can it do so as per provisions of Companies Act 2013? it would be really helpful if you can share relevant provisions/ circulars.

In my view, there is no such thing as designating as director. Both are same -designating and appointing. since the word 'director' is covered under CA 2013, you must follow appointment rules. Else, you may proceed with any other designation.

As per Companies Act 2013 ―"director" means a director appointed to the Board of a company. What is the position in case someone is not appointed on the board yet called/ designated as director? An employee, who is not appointed in the board and yet he is called as 'director production or director -sales'. is it non-compliance of provisions of Companies Act? Does a company not have designations like this? (Earlier there was a circular NO.2/82, DATED 20.1.1983 under Companies Act 1956 in this regard, what is the position under companies Act 2013?)
