Your query is categorize in two part:

1. What will be, if the no. of director go below the statutory limit:

If the director of the company go below the statutory limit, then Article 75 of Schedule I, Table A give remaining director power to appoint other director or directors to and to call a general meeting but not other purpose. On the basis of Article 75 you your one director appoint other director to comply quorum.

2. What will be, if the no. of member go below the statutory limit i.e. minimum 2 in case of private company and minimum 7 in case of public company:

Section 45 of the Companies Act, 1956 says that if the number of members falls below the statutory limit and the company carry on business for more than 6 moths while the number so reduced, , every person who is a member of the company during the time the company so carries on business after those 6 month and is aware of the fact, shall be severally liable.
