Introduction<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The Managing Director of a company directs and controls the company\u2019s operations. He gives strategic guidance and direction to the Board of Directors and other key managerial personnel (KMP) to ensure that the company achieves its objectives. He is also involved in the day-to-day affairs of the company. He directs and controls the resources of the company and supervises various functions or departments, like, manufacturing\/production, sales, advertisement, legal, finance and accounting, administration, etc. The Companies Act, 2013 (\u201cthe Act\u201d) defines \u201cmanaging director\u201d and \u201cmanager\u201d. This article provides an analysis of relevant provisions of the Act and Rules made thereunder along with detailed checklist w.r.t. appointment of Managing Director or Manager in a company.<\/p>\n

1. Director Identification Number (DIN)<\/i>.\u2014<\/strong><\/span>Every individual intending to be appointed as Director of a company shall make an application for allotment of director identification number\u00a0 <\/span>to the Central Government (under Section 153 of the Act).<\/p>\n

2. Modes of Appointment of Managing Director<\/i>.\u2014<\/strong><\/span> Managing director means a director who, by virtue of the articles of association of a company or an agreement with the company or a resolution passed in its general meeting, or by its Board of Directors, is entrusted with substantial powers of management of the affairs of the company. Therefore, there are four ways for a company to appoint a managing director. The articles of association of company may also provide for appointment in a particular manner.<\/p>\n

3. Approval of Board of Directors<\/i>.\u2014<\/strong><\/span>W.r.t. the appointment of Managing Director or Manager by Board of Directors, the notice convening the meeting of Board of Directors shall include the terms and conditions of such appointment, remuneration payable and such other matters including interest, of a director or directors in such appointments, if any.<\/p>\n

4. Appointment Letter or Agreement<\/i>.<\/strong><\/span>\u2014As defined in the Act, the managing director includes a director occupying such position, by whatever name called. Therefore, any director who is entrusted with substantial powers of management of the company but not designated or appointed as Managing Director, then such director may be a managing director. The Act has not explicitly defined substantial powers of management. The terms of appointment shall specifically state the powers, functions, roles, responsibilities and duties of the appointee. According the provisions, \u201csubstantial powers of management\u201d does not include the power to do administrative acts of a routine nature when so authorised by Board, which includes the power to affix company\u2019s common seal to any document or to draw and endorse any cheque on company\u2019s bank account or to draw and endorse any negotiable instrument or to sign any share certificate or to direct registration of transfer of shares. Therefore, in order to elaborate and define substantial power of management, it is desirable that an appointment letter is issued by the Board of Directors or an agreement is executed that defines the terms and conditions of appointment. Generally \u201csubstantial powers of management\u201d may include power to invest funds of the company, power to borrow on behalf of the company, power to appoint functional heads, power to sue on behalf of the company, power to negotiate and sign agreements on behalf of the company.<\/p>\n

5. Appointment of Joint Managing Director<\/i>.\u2014<\/strong><\/span>A company may appoint two or more Managing Directors. There is no specific restriction under the Act.

In order to avoid conflict of duties, it is necessary to elaborate \u201csubstantial powers of management of the company\u201d in the appointment letter or resolution or agreement.
