There is no doubt about that. So absolutely agree with the learned member.

what about wtd?

A person cannot be appointed as a managing or whole-time director unless he is already a director in the company

A person, who is proposed to be appointed as a managing director or whole-time director, unless he is already a director in the company, cannot be appointed as such. Holding of office of director is a pre-requisite for holding of office of managing or whole-time director. Even if the approval of the Central Government has been obtained for appointment of a person as managing or whole-time director, the requirement of holding of office as a director cannot be dispensed with.

Appointment of a non-director as a managing or whole-time director cannot be made

If a company intends to appoint an individual, who is not a director of the company, as its managing or whole-time director then he shall have to be first appointed by the Board as an additional director. The appointment of a person as an additional director is governed by the provisions of section 260 and the regulations contained in the Articles of the company.

ANSWER AS DESIRED BY YOU

First appoint him as a director in the general meeting by following the procedure of section -257. After appointing him as a director you may go ahead and appoint him as a WTD by following the procedure of Section 269 read with schedule XIII.
