<h1>Board powers under Section 161: appointing additional, alternate, nominee directors and filling casual vacancies with limits</h1> Section 161 of the Companies Act, 2013 empowers the Board, if authorised by the articles or resolution, to appoint additional directors (excluding those who failed appointment in general meeting) to hold office until the next annual general meeting or its due date. It permits appointment of alternate directors for absences from India of not less than three months, subject to independence qualifications where applicable and co-terminus tenure with the original director. The Board may appoint nominee directors pursuant to law, agreement, or government shareholding. Casual vacancies of directors appointed in general meeting may be filled by the Board, subject to subsequent approval in the next general meeting, with tenure limited to that of the original director.
