Wtd in private company - section 196

Friends,

Under section 196 of the CA 2013 no person can be appointed as a WTD/MD/Manager for a term exceeding 5 years at a time. This is applicable for a independent private limited company also. So, what is the position for those Directors who have say served for 3 years in the Board already. Will 5 years be counted from 1st April, 2014 and a fresh resolution be passed for a 5 years therefrom.

Regards,
