WHAT IS APPOINTMENT OF ADDITIONAL DIRECTOR?
The appointment of directors can be initiated for internal management and to make better business decisions for the company. As per statutory requirement, one person company should have a minimum of one director, a private Limited should have a minimum of two directors and the public limited company should have a minimum of three directors which may extend to a maximum of 15 directors. A company may appoint more than 15 directors after passing a special resolution.
An individual proposed to be appointed as the director of the Company should mandatorily hold a DIN number as a prerequisite of appointment. If he is not already having a DIN no., an application can be made in Form DIR-3 to obtain DIN no. Once the DIN is obtained, the appointment of the director can be done by passing the requisite resolution and filing of Form DIR 12 within 30 days from the date of such appointment. The proposed director need not be a shareholder of the company.
The individual proposed to be appointed as a director may be ‘Additional Director’ or a “full-fledged Director”. Additional Director is appointed by passing the board’s resolution who holds office up to the next annual general meeting or the last date on which the annual general meeting was scheduled to be held, whichever is earlier. Further, the additional director can be regularised. If the person is rejected for re-appointment as a director at the annual general meeting of the Company then he or she cannot be appointed again for the position of additional director.
A person can be appointed as full-fledged Director of the Company by the approval of the shareholders in their General Meeting through passing an Ordinary Resolution in this regard. For the appointment of a person as an Independent Director, approval of the shareholders shall be required through passing a Special Resolution along with its explanatory Statement. In both cases, an intimation with respect to such appointment shall be made to the Registrar of Companies (ROC) within 30 days by filing e-form DIR-12.
