    • Dear Ma'am,

       

      As per my understanding and definition of a managing director, a company (including a Private company) may have more than 1 MD.

       

      waiting for more replies,

       

      Thank you

      Under Section 2(54) of the Companies Act, 2013:

      A Managing Director is defined as the director who is entrusted with  with substantial powers of management of the affairs of the company and includes a director occupying the position of managing director, by whatever name called.

      Also the explanation appended to the definition, mention some of the powers which shall not to be deemed to be substantial powers of management such as the power to affix the common seal of the company to any document or to draw and endorse any cheque on the account of the company in any bank or to draw and endorse any negotiable instrument or to sign any certificate of share or to direct registration of transfer of any share.

      From above discussion, it is clear that all powers other than the routine powers shall be deemed to be the substantial powers of the management.

      Also Section 196 of the Act states that, no company shall appoint or employ at the same time a Managing Director and a manager.

      It is concluded that, unlike a managing director or whole-time director, a company cannot appoint more than one manager at a time. When a person is entrusted with either whole or substantially the whole of powers of the company, it is presumed that only one person can have the management of the whole or substantial powers.

      Hence, it is clear that a private limited company can appoint more than one managing director.

      Thank You!
