Can a company appoint managing director and manager simultaneously?

Information provided by Legalpund = Can a Company appoint a Managing Director and a Manager at the same time? = No company can appoint or employ, at the same time, or, continue the appointment or, employment at the same time, of a Managing Director, as well as a Manager. But, there is no legal prohibition against having a Whole Time Director and Manager, simultaneously, or, Managing Director and whole-time Director, simultaneously. Again, there is no prohibition on a company having more than one Managing Director. This section applies to all companies, public and private. As per provisions of this section a company cannot apply both managing director and manager at the same time. The term " managing director" and "manager" has been defined in section 2(26) and 2(24) respectively. "managing director is a director who is entrusted with "substantial" powers of management which would not otherwise be exercisable by him. From the definition of managing director it appears that the company may entrust "substantial" power of management to one or more directors and therefore a company may have more than one managing director.Further the expression MANAGING DIRECTOR shall also include a director occupying the position of managing director, by whatever name called.For instance, President, CEO , chief operating officer, etc. in the case of MNCs shall be considered as the MANAGING DIRECTOR for the purpose of COMPANIES ACT, although they are not designated as such.
