I think yes. I am not very sure. But will other company appoint only as Chairman? There are few provisions in listing agreement.

Dear Sunny,

yes, I am also concerned that how any one can be appointed only as Chairman. as far as my knowlwdge is Concern the Chairman must be part of Board of Directors i.e Director, MD,WTD.

 

Correct me if i am wrong.

Hi Dipak, 

I do agree.. Usually one among the Board is elected as a chairman. haven't heard of a chairman being non-director. As the saying goes, 'Name does not matter, but functions do matter'' the chairman as pointed out above will be liable for his acts. 

He can not be so appointed.


He has to leave one of the directorship. Because the chairman is elected among the Board of Dirctors. That means he should be the Board Member and as such he is already director in 15 companies he has to leave one of the company.

I agree with CS Ankur srivastava's answer.

Please do remember, the stipulation set by section 278 for the purpose of calculating the number of directorships i.e. 15. Private cos which are not subidiary of a public ltd. cos and the cos in which he is an alternative director etc.
