Sec 262 or 260

Hello,

Both the options i.e. section 260 or section 262 are available.

Board may appoint the new person as a director to fill casual vacancy u/s 262 by passing a board resolution at a BM (Here R.B.C. u/s 289 not allowed).

Alternatively board may induct a new person in the BOD by appointing him as an additional director. Also check the provisions of your articles in this regard.

Revert if there is any doubt.

Best Regards

1)                  Appointment of Additional Director:

“RESOLVED THAT pursuant to Section 260 of the Companies Act, 1956 and Article No.______ of the Articles of Association of the Company, Mr. Rajesh Gupta be and is hereby appointed as Additional Director of the Company.”

2)                  Appointment of director to fill casual vacancy

“RESOLVED THAT pursuant to the provisions of Section 262 of the Companies Act, 1956 and Article No.______ of the Articles of Association of the Company, the casual vacancy in the office of director caused by the resignation of Mr. Rahul Bansal be filled by the appointment of Mr. Harshit Aggarwal who shall hold office upto the date Mr. Rahul Bansal would have held office had it not been vacated.

Hi

if u refer in resolution that if the appointment of new person is to fill the casual vacancy caused by previous director then 262 applicable otherwise not.

Thanks for your help...
