Appointment of Joint or Deputy Managing Director: Resolutions

The Companies Act, 2013 is silent about the provisions regarding appointment of Joint / Deputy Managing Director in a company whether public or private limited.

However, usually in the large scale companies, Joint / Deputy Directors are appointed as a position next to the Managing Director.

Though there is no specific provision in the Act or rules made thereunder, there is no prohibition either for such appointments.

It is pertinent to mention that a joint director acts as a whole-time director and not as a non-executive director.
