Hello!

In that case that director is liable for the vacation of the office of director u/s 283(1) (h). and penalty as mentioned u/s 295 will also be imposed. However its a compoundable offence u/s 621A. So u can file a application for compounding.

Any further suggestions....

Regards

hi,

I have posted the same query. If we go for compounding of an offence still the director will have to vacate the Office under section 283 ???

YES, compounding of sffence is separately dealt with. The moment there is contravention of section 295, director is hit by section 283. To avoid imprisonment compounding is allowed, that does not mean, director can escape u/s 283 also.

I think it should be a violation which is in existance if the loans have been repaid in full he need not vacate the office.

Also pl tell me that as per your view even if he vacates the office , immediately thereafter he can be appointed . Then there is no point in this provision to vacate the office even if the loans have been repaid.
