Board of Directors can appoint alternate Director to act for the original director during his absence from India for a period of not less than 3 months. Alternate Director can be appointed by passing a resolution in Board meeting or by circulation.

The board of directors of a public company is elected by shareholders. The board makes key decisions on issues such as mergers and dividends, hires senior managers, and sets their pay. Board of directors candidates can be nominated by the company's nominations committee or by outsiders seeking change.

Any person willing to be appointed by a director, and permitted by law to do so can be appointed by ordinary resolution of a general meeting or by resolution of the directors.
