Dear All,
The MD will be serving his tenure till 31.3.2010. He has to be reappointed.
Can we take his appointment in the ensuing BM which happens in the 3rd week of April or is it compulsory to get his appointment done in the March before his term expires.
Please clarify the issue and provide the supporting documents / circulars in this regards.
The co is public and listed.
Early response will be appreciated.
As per Section 371(2), MD needs to vacate his office immediately on expiry of his term as in this case on 31.03.10. If you appoint him in April than for 3 days he will not be MD as his term has already expired.
Hence it is advisable to hold BM in March and appoint him before expiry of his term.
Agree with the learned member.
Under section 269 appointment includes re-appointment hence all the provisions applicable on appointment are applicable in your case.
For re-appointment pass a board resolution before the expiry of term subject to the approval of shareholders. As per DCA circular the appointment becomes effective from the date of BM resolution.
Also file form 23 u/s 192(4)(c) within 30 days of BM. Further if the appointment is as per sch XIII than file form 25C within 90 days from the date of BM.
Find below the details for DCA Circular mentioned above
Circular No. 2/94 dated 10th February 1994.
As per this circular he may be re appointed initially by a BM resolution subject to GM resolution and such shareholder approval may be obtained in the first GM of the company held immediately after his appointment in the BM.
Regards
Thanks for your replies.
Also let me know, if the MD can be reappointed by circular resolution.
I think it is yes.
Kindly confirm with some supporting documents.
With reference to the table below yes you may go ahead with the circular resolution in your case.

Dear All,
Mine is the same case as above but difference is the MD is also the MD of a subsidiary company, so do i need to comply with section 316 also. wat is the format of specific notice in that case......AND whether provision of Section 302 will also be aplicable in case of reappointment if we do not vary any terms of re appointment or we can mention this in the explanatory statement to the resolution of appointment of MD in the notice convening the forthcoming AGM in September..
Thanks in advance..
