Reference: Section 165 of Companies Act, 2013
Doubt Text: This section says maximum Directorship including Alternate Dr, but does it also include Additional Dr / Nominee Dr / Independent Dr / Managing Dr / Whole Time Dr / Dr appointed in Caual Vacancy. And if it does include, why didn’t it mention. If your answer is “Because Dr means all Dr na, common sense.” Ok understood. But then tell me why did it specifically mention Alternate Dr.
Sometimes you got to read the law in a more open or constructive way .
The language of the law depends upon the one who is writing it .
And your question really has no answer why other types of directorship not expressly written and why only alternate directorship is expressed.
Also the law , when written tries to clarify the ambiguity that existed at the time law was written .
So all said , *because director means all directors*
