Dear all,

Our company wishes to designate unit incharge as CEO of the Company. There is no statutory requirement for appointment of KMP other than CS.

Please guide as to whether provisions of The Companies Act,2013 needs to be followed such as filing of DIR-12 & other requirements for  such voluntary appointment/designation as CEO  or simple board resolution to that effect should suffice.

So you mean to say appointment needs to be done as per the act and there is no other option for a private limited company ?

It depends purely on the company but I would suggest you to go as per statutory requirements to avoid any future issues.
Thanks

I feel that so long as the person is not going to be a KMP, and the Co does not need to hv a KMP as per Law, then pass a board resolution authorising the MD of the Co to take appropriate action to designate the individual and decide upon the terms and condition of employment and remuneration payable to him.
This Board resolution is only for internal purposes. And may be the board resolution can be given if required to the Inspector of Factories. PF & ESI authorities.

Views of others welcome. 

Regards, 
Mohan

I agree with Mr. Mohan. Appointment of CEO in a private company, whose paid up capital is less 10 crores, no need to follow the companies act for the appointment.

It is a formal appointment. Intimation to Inspector of Factories is also not required.

Dear Friends,

 

I’ve slightly different viewpoint.

 

On reading of provisions of Sec. 203 along with definition of KMP u/s 2(51) of the Act, it appears that;

 

1.     Certain classes of cos. are mandatorily required to appoint KMPs u/s 203.

2.     If a Company voluntarily appoints a person with the ‘designation’ as included u/s 2(51), he will be considered as KMP for all the purposes of the Act, including being considered as ‘an officer-in-default’. However, compliance of provisions of sec. 203 is not mandatory. (However, it ought to be followed)

3.     Further, sec. 203 uses the phrase ‘whole-time-KMP’ unlike the definition of KMP which uses only the phrase ‘KMP’ without any prefix as ‘whole-time’. Meaning thereby, a company which voluntarily appoints a KMP, may appoint such KMP on part-time basis.

 

If a Company employs/appoints any person as CFO/CEO/CS, even though not mandatory, he would be considered as a KMP.

 

Thanks & Regards,
