Appointment of Director U/S 257

Definitely a person can be appointed as a director u/s 257 directly without his app. as Additional Dir.

As app. u/s 257 requires calling of General Meeting, that's why most companies prefer to appoint a person as Additional Director in Board Meeting and then confirm his appointment in General Meeting u/s 257 (preferably AGM to avoid calling of GM specially for this purpose)

Totally agree with the learned member !!!

do agree with concerned members..........!!!

I too agree the same

IF A ADDITIONAL DIRECTOR APOOINTMENT  REGULARISED UNDER SEC 257 IN AGM, IS FORM 32 FILLING IS COMPULSORY FOR THAT DIRECTOR  

Yes, then only his name as Director will be shown on MCA portal otherwise his name as Additional Director will be shown on Signatory Details.
