Thannk you so much for your quick response. 

Yes the employee has the DIN and is not disquaified to become a director. So we have to conduct a BM first then propose him as a WTD? and then conduct a GM, is my interpretation correct?

 

Yes, your understanding is correct apart from this you need to check schedule V of the companies act 2013, If he disqualify under schedule V then central government approval is required to appoint him as managerial person in form MR-2 within 90 days.

Thank you.

Yes Remuneration is coming as per the Part II of Schedule V. Further Section 160 will have to be complied as well? Rs. 1 lakh deposit and noticce to shareholders and updation on the website?
