Dear Deepanshu,

Even an Additional Director can be appointed as MD but since an Additional director can hold office only upto tha date of AGM it is neccssary to regularise him first and if he fails to get elected as a Director than he will also cease to hold the office of a MD....So the right way to go is to regularise the additional director first and than go for the Consent of the members for appointment as MD..

Regards

First appoint any one as Director / WTD in Board Meeting or General meeting directly and then appoint him as MD no problem.

Requirements:-

Remuneration to be approved by Remuneration committee and part I and II of schedule XIII is to be complied with.

If you appoint anyone as Additional director then you should regularise him first them appoint him as MD.

There is 2 option for appointment of MD:

1. In a Board Meeting first appoint him as Additional Director as well as MD and later in general meeting resularise him.

2. Appoint him directly in EGM as Director & MD so question of regulairsing do not arise.

No need to wait till he is regularised and than appoint him as MD. Also appointment of remmuneration committee is required only when profits of COmpany are inadequate or no profit.
