appointment of MD

A Company can appoint a MD by passing a ordinary resolution at the GM unless the AOA requires special resolution. A MD can be appointed by the BOD of the Company, if authorised..

Appointment of MD of a public Company must be in compliance with section 269 r.w. sch XIII of the Companies Act. Else, CG approval is required

A Company need to file Form No. 25C within a period of 90 days from the date of appointment if the appointment is in accordance with Sch XIII. Also Form No 28 has to be filed within 30 days from the date of appointment.

Mr. Pavan Jain

You have mentioned form - 28 to be filed, but there is no such form. whether this is form-23 to be filed?

Secondly you have not mentioned about form 32, whether the same is to be filed after board meeting or EGM?

Form 25C & 32 for aapointment of M.D.

F-23....only if app. is made by special res.

Forms required to be filed

1. 32 to make him director,

2. 23 to file resolution, who told that only special resolutions are filed in23,

3. 25c

only a director can be MD, otherwise that person will be called manager.

hi dear

There are two ways to appoint MD/WTD.

1. Comply schedule XIII i.e. remuneration should be within the limits of section II of the schedule and director should not be disqualified under section I . For this purpose following forms required to be filed -

Form 32

Form 23 for board resolution appointing MD

Form 25C within 90 days of the appointment

2. Second way take the approval from. No need to comply schedule XIII. In this case the co can give remuneration beyond the limits specified in XIII. Form to be filed -

Form 32

Form 23 for board resolution appointing MD

Form 25A within 90 days from the appointment

Diwakerji,

Is this also a right way to appoint a new /fresh  person  as MD (without remuneration) in a public ltd. co.

1) Appoint him as Addl. Director in Board meeting & file form 32

2) Appoint him again in next board meeting as MD. & file form 32 for change in designation.

3) Approal of Members are to be taken in EGM for appointing him as MD & file the resolution by form-23

4) then file the form 25C within 90 days from the date of 2nd board meeting in which he was made  MD.

pl. suggest that any thing wrong in this procedure?

hi deepak

In my view ur procedure to appoint the MD is correct. But u r not required to hold two BM but u can appoint him first as additional director and then as MD in same meeting by passing two Board resolutions.

Further u r also not required to hold EGM since u can wait upto AGM and can take shareholder approval in AGM

Contrary views are solicited.

Hello friends

Mine is a listed Co. We want to appoint MD of the Company and designate  him as CEO of the Company . But the Co does not want to pay any remuneration to him. Can the Co appoint him as MD without paying Remuneration to him. If yes , pl provide me the resolution for the same.

Also what would be effective date of apppt - whether date of BM or date of AGM where appt is approved.Form 25 C would be filed within 90 days of BM or AGM.Pl treat it as urgent

Thanks in advance

A company can appoint MD without remuneration. (but it sounds strange that MD bein designated as CEO is not drawing any remuneration).

Form 25C is to be filed within 90 days from the effective date of appointment as mentioned in the resolution passed in the earlier meeting. i.e. Board Meeting.

BOARD RESOLUTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF MD:

Resolved That pursuant to the provisions of Section 198, 269, 309, 311 read with Schedule XIII and other applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 1956 and subject to the approval of the members of the Company in the General Meeting, Mr. _______________, be and is hereby appointed as the Managing Director of the Company for a period of 5 years effective from _______________, on the terms and conditions, draft whereof was placed before the Board and initialed by the Chairman for the purpose of identification.

Resolved Further That  Mr. _____________, Director of the Company be and is hereby further authorized to file the prescribed forms in this connection with the Registrar of Companies.

Dear Friend,

Please find enclosed herewith a useful file containing provisions for the appointment of Managerial Personnels.

Hope this file would be of some help.

Revert if there is any doubt.

Check the below articles:

APPOINTMENT OF MANAGERIAL PERSONNEL ANALYSIS PART-I

APPOINTMENT OF MANAGERIAL PERSONNEL ANALYSIS PART-II

Please note that everytime company pass a resolution for appointment/renewal of appointment/change in terms of MD, it needs to file Form 23 with ROC, as per Section 192(4)(c) of the Companies Act, 1956.

But i don't think so that when board resolution for appointment of MD is confirmed in the general meeting, then Form 23 is to be filed as there are no changes in the terms and conditions of appoint..
