As per section 269 ( 1) , a public company or a private company which is a subsidiary of a public company , having a paid up share capital of rupees five crores or more shall have a managing or whole -time director or manager. Therefore, a private company is not statutorily required to have managing or whole - time director or manager . A person cannot be appointed as a Managing or Whole -time Director unless he is already a director in the company . So Appointment of a non- director as a Managing or Whole -time Director cannot be made.
