Dear All,
As per sec. 265, a Co. may appoint directors as per proportional representation method provided that minimum 2/3rd of total no. of directors should be appointed by this method. My query is that:- What no. directors to be considered for calculating 2/3rd. In other words, should we consider the total no. of existing directors or the total no. of proposed directors for calculating 2/3rd ratio?
Hope for the early reply.
Thanking u all.

Total directors including the proposed directors should be taken into consideration for the 2/3 ratio.
