30 September 2011 If an individual can be a director,but in section 303 it is mentioned that statutory registers need to be maintained in case of individual, all the personal and official details, in case of body corporate, its registered office and various other information and also in case of firm its details.
But if only an individual can be a director then why it is mentioned in law that we need to keep the registers of body corporate and firm as directors??????
Both statements are contradictory.

30 September 2011 Yes divya You are right.
Sec 253 only individuals to be appointed as directors.
sec 303 ...in the case of a body corporate, its corporate name and registered or principal office; and the full name, address, nationality, and nationality of origin, if different from that nationality 4[the father's name or where a director is a married woman, the husband's name] of each of its directors; and if it holds the office of 1[***] manager or secretary in any other body corporate, the particulars of each such office, SEEMS ODD.
Opinions are invited.
