28 September 2010 To become a director of a company there is no legal compulsion to hold shares of that company.

In that way a non-member can be appointed as director of the company.

However in case of a public company there is an exception i.e. qualification shares.

As per section 270 if articles of a company requires a candidate to obtain shares as min qualification shares then it is mandatory to obtain such shares. But section 270 is applicable only on a private company.

Thanks
