Can a director disqualified u/s 274 (1) (g) be appointment as a small shareholder's director??
It is said u/s 252 (relating to appointment of small sh.'s director) that -"disqualifications of a small sh. director are the same as that of any other director - EXCEPT THAT sec. 274(1)(g) shall not apply to him.
Inversely there is no explanation u/s 274(1)(g) to above.
So tell me whether a director disqualified u/s 274 (1) (g) be appointment as a small shareholder's director??
thanks

Yes, a director disqualified u/s 274 (1) (g) can be appointed as a small shareholder's director.

Dear Abhijeet,

 

I dont think so....

 

Because company law specifically prohibits any persons who has been disqualified under section 274(1)(g) to be appointed as a director in any PUBLIC COMPANY.

 

And small shareholders' director under section 252 shall be treated  as director for all other purposes except for appointment as whole time director or managing director.

 

Contrary views are welcome....

Dear Ankur Ji,

 

Please refer the Proviso to Sec 252(1) read with Companies (Appointment of Small Shareholders Directors) Rules, 2001 :-

the rule says :-

Rule 5. Disqualification:-
A person shall not be capable of being appointed as small shareholders’ director of a company, if –
(i) he has been found to be of unsound mind by a Court of competent jurisdiction and the finding is in force;
(ii) he is an undischarged insolvent;
(iii) he has applied to be adjudicated as an insolvent and his application is pending;
(iv) he has been convicted by a Court of any offence involving moral turpitude and sentenced in respect thereof to imprisonment for not less than six months, and a period of five years has not elapsed from the date of expiry of the sentence;
(v) he has not paid any call in respect of shares of the company held by him, whether alone or jointly with others, and six months have elapsed from the last day fixed for the payment of the call; or
(vi) an order disqualifying him for appointment as director has been passed by a Court in pursuance of section 203 and is in force, unless the leave of the Court has been obtained for his appointment in pursuance of that section.

     

Condition of disqualification as mentioned in Section 274(1)(g)  is not covered in above 6 points.

So, the director disqualified u/s274(1)(g) is not disqualified to be Small Shareholders' Director..

Dear Jagruti,


Are you agree wid my reply ???

  

I had replied that Condition of disqualification as mentioned in Section 274(1)(g) is not covered in above 6 points.

So, the director disqualified u/s274(1)(g) is not disqualified to be Small Shareholders' Director..
