Dear Ma'am,
Greetings!
as per section 196(3) of CA act 2013
No company shall appoint or continue the employment of any person as managing director, whole-time director or manager who —
(a) is below the age of twenty-one years or has attained the age of seventy years:
Provided that appointment of a person who has attained the age of seventy years may be made by passing a special resolution in which case the explanatory statement annexed to the notice for such motion shall indicate the justification for appointing such person;
however law is silent for part time directors, by taking plain interpretation at first instance it seems that a person below the age of 21 years can be appointed as a part time director
but when we file DIR-3 for application for DIN it shows error if Date of birth is such that 18 years are not completed for applicant,
therefore, it can safely be concluded that a person below the age of 18 years can not be appointed as a director due to DIN
a minor can become member of the company only for fully paid-up shares of the company there is a celebrated case law of Dewan Singh Hira Singh vs Minerva Films Ltd. on 24 September, 1958
Thank you!
