16 October 2009

Dear All,

There is a Pvt. Ltd. company (not a subsidiary of any public co.) having 4 first directors as per AOA + 2 additional directors. One of the first 4 directors (say Mr. X) expired giving rise to a casual vacancy. I think only Form 32 is to filed for this vacancy.

Now, this casual vacancy is to be filled up by appointment of one of the relative of Mr. X as a regular director like Mr. X. AOA of the company are silent on this matter. Section 262 is also not applicable as this Pvt. Co. is not a subsidiary of any public co.

What procedure to be followed for this appointment. Please give your expert advise ASAP.

Thanks in advance,

CA. SATENDAR KUMAR

Hi section 262 is applicable to Public Co & Pvt. Co which is a subsidiary of Public Co.. In your case it is a pvt. co so section 262 is not applicable

However for appointing any director in a board then first it is required to appoint him as an Addtional Director under Section 260 of the Companies Act read with applicable Provisions of the AOA and having been so appointed, holds office till the date of the ensuing Annual General Meeting by virtue of Section 260 of the Companies Act, 1956 read with applicable Article of the Articles of Association of the Company and is eligible for re-appointment.

Steps involved:

1) First to appoint the director as an Additional Director in a Board Meeting.

2) To file Form 32 for his appointment as an Additional Director within 30 days of his appointment.

3) To regularized an additional director in the ensuing Annual General Meeting by passing an ordinary resolution.

4) To file Form 32 for his change in Designation i.e from Additonal Director to Director.

Thenafter he can act a regular Director.

As ur is a pvt co, section 262 is not applicable. However it is required to file form 32 for cessation of director becasue of death. No documents are required to be attached for support of evidence. However u can attach board resolution which u will pass for taking note of death of Director as optional attachment.
