Generally a director is appointed in the Annual General Meeting (AGM), and can hold the post till the next AGM. However, the articles of the company can provide for appointment of permanent directors in the articles of the company. In case of a public company or its subsidiaries, only one-third of the directors can be appointed as permanent directors, rest of the directors must retire by rotation at the AGM of the company. An independent director can be appointed for a period of consecutive five years. Such directors can be re-appointed after passing a special resolution by the Board for a period of another 5 years. After two consecutive terms, an independent director can be re-appointed only after a gap of three years (provided that the person was not appointed or associated with the company during these three years).

Can you please tell under what section of companies act,2013, this is stated that tindependent director can be appointed in Board meeting .

 

Every director other than first directors of company shall be appointed in general meeting as per Section 152(2)
