Re-appointment of Managing Director in listed Company

Others 4923 views 10 replies

Hi,

Just wanted to confirm a few points before taking the course of action:

A Ltd. is a public listed Company. At its Board Meeting held Today, the Co. has approved, subject to the approval of shareholders, the reappointment of Managing Director, for a further period of 5 years with effect from 20th October, 2011  on the same terms and consitions of remuneration as were paid to him earlier. The aforesaid reappointment is under Sections 198, 269, 309 read with Schedule XIII of the Companies Act, 21956. Part I of the said Schedule is applicable as the Company has adequate profits.The GM will be held in September.

In the aforesaid case, kindly re-confirm that:

Form 23 is to be filed  within 30 days of the GM

Form 25C is to be filed within 90 days of the GM.

Also, whether a formation of Remuneration Committee is mandatory in such a case. I read in a reference book that Remuneration Committee is mandatorily required when paid up cap of Co. is Rs. 5 cr or more and remuneration is paid in case of absence or inadequacy of profits.

Request any senior member or expert on the subject to throw some light on the same.

form 23 is to be filed within 30 days of the GM

form 25C is to be filed within 90 days of the effective date of appointment. i.e if  his appointment is effective from 1.4.12 then 90 days thereafter.

since it is a listed co.- there has to be remuneration comm. under clause 49. however the requirement of sch. XIII is independent of other provisiions of the act and u have to have remuneration comm.

experts pl. comment.

Thanks for the revert.

To my knowledge, Under Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement, Formation of Remuneration Committee is non-mandatory and as such Clause 49 is not applicable to my Co. Therefore need clarification as to whether every payment of Remuneration to MD, is required to go thru Formation of Remuneration Committee even if the same is within limits of Sch XIII & without inadequacy of profits.

Hi,

Form 23  is required to be filed within 30 days of passing the Board Resolution for appointment or re-appointment of MD. [see Secction 192(4)(c)].

Form 25C is required to be filed within 90 days of effective date of appointment/ reappointment.

Regarding Remuneration Committee, if the Company has adequate profit, then there is no need to remuneration recommended by Remuneration Committee. if  the Profit is inadequate then the remuneration must be recommended by Remuneration Committee.

 

Thanks & Regards

Thanks for clarification on Remuneration Committee.

In case of Filing of Form 23. Wherein a BM resolution is passed, subject to approval of  shareholders in GM. In such a case, the Resolution can be filed in F. 23 only after shareholder's approval.The re-appointment authority is not solely with Board here and their approval is subjected to Shareholder's approval. So, I guess, the form should be filed with Shareholder's Spl. Reso. & not BM reso.

Form 23 is to be filed with Board Resolution. Read section 192(4)(c)

Agree with the view of Rajeev, if the profits are inadequate, Schedule XIII would apply and according to schedule XIII, Remuneraiton Committee must approve the remuneration of the appointee managerial personal.

Moreover, compliance with section 302 of the Companies Act, 1956 has to be observed.


I woulld like to clarify that the requirement to file the form 23 with ROC is under Section 192 of Companies Act, 1956.

As per the provision of  Section 192(4)(c) of CA, 1956 in case of  any Board Resolution passed by the Board relating to the appointment, reappointment or renewal etc. of MD, form 23 is required to be filled within 30 days with ROC. This is compulsory even in case of the appointment or reappointment is subject to the approval of Shareholders.

 

 

Section 192(4)(c) is read as under:--


"any resolution of the Board of directors of a company or agreement executed by a company, relating to the appointment, re-appointment or renewal of the appointment, or variation of the terms of appointment, of a managing director;"
