28 January 2009 pvt ltd companies are previleged with waiver of many sections of companies act, section 255 dose not applicable to pvt ltd companies, also, in companies act there is no definition as "permanent" or "directorship for life" the director can hold his position untill resigned/vacated.
a director can be appointed as MD only by passing board resolution, and filing F.32, but ensure compliance of s.267.
