AS per sec. 270 director is required to hold qualification shares only if required by articles. and following rules will apply thereof:-
1) if the director is not already holding qualification share he should obtain it within 2 months
2) Nominal value should not exceed 5000/- if nominal value of one share is more than 5000 then share qualification will be 1 share
if director does not hold share qualification required by articles then
1) he will have to vacate his office u/s. 283 if not obtained within 2 months of appointment
2)penalty of 500 per day after 2 months if he continues to act as director and penalty of 5000 will also aplly for not vacating the office
