No body corporate, association or firm can be appointed as director of a company.
 

Number Of Directors: Minimum Number (Sec.252):

 
Every public company (other than a deemed public company) shall have at least 3 directors and every other company (e.g., a private company, a deemed public company) at least 2 directors.
