As per section 255(2) of the Companies Act, 1956, the directors in the case of a private company which is not a subsidiary of a public company, shall, in default of and subject to any regulations in the articles of the company, also be appointed by the company in general meeting.
So you are advised to refer your articles in this regard and if articles are silent simply appoint new director by holding a general meeting and by passing ordinary resolution.
Other considerable points for appointment of new director:
-
First collect DIN No. of proposed director and get it approved from MCA.
-
Collect consent letter from the proposed director. (Recommended but not compulsory in a private company)
-
Convene a Board/General Meeting for passing resolution for appointment of new director.
-
Download Form-32 from www.mca.gov.in
5. Fill form-32 and get it certified from a PCS/PCA and upload the same on MCA site for ROC filing with in 30 days from the date of passing resolution for appointment of director.
Hope the above reply would be of some help.
Thanks
