whole time director

Yes, you have to appoint him as director first then only whole time director. Refer GEETA SAAR issued by ICSI

You may directlty (in a single resolution) appoint him as Director as well as WTD, it is the prerequisite of the WTD that he must be a director.

The definition of the Term WTD itself says that it includes a director in the whole time employment of the Company.

You are welcome, it is my pleasure.
