Sir,

As far as I understand, sections 196 and 197 read with Schedule V speak about the procedure for appointment of MD, WTD.

Independent Directors cannot be appointed in a Board Meeting.  All the Companies required to appoint IDs have already appointed them in their AGMs or EGMs held in 2014. His date of appointment is the date of General Meeting in which the appointment has been made.

MD/WTD's appointment can be taken up in the Board Meeting but it is subject to the approval of shareholders in the next General Meeting if the remuneration payable to him exceeds the prescribed limits or he is above 70 years.  His date of appointment is the date of Board Meeting in which the appointment has been made.
