Dear Mr. Sunny
Normally for appointment under sub-section (1) of section 314 the special resolution should be passed before the office or place of profit is held. But the first proviso to sub-section (1) permits that a special resolution according the consent of the company may be passed at a general meeting of the company held for the first time after the holding of such office or place of profit.
In other words, a person can hold office or place of profit first and special resolution to this effect may be passed later.
On the contrary under sub-section (1B), it is the prior consent of the shareholders by special resolution and the approval of the Central Government.
In other words, a person can not hold office or place of profit unless a special resolution and approval of the Central Government have previously been obtained.
