'E' a director was absent for 4 months. It is proposed to appoint 'F' as an alternate director in place of 'E'. 'F' is already acting as an alternate director in "A" Ltd. for a director 'G' who was absent for 5 months.

Section 161 (2) of the Companies Act, 2013 states that in the conditions for appointment of an Alternate Director, the person to be appointed as the Alternate Director shall be the person other than the person holding any alternate directorship for any other Director in the company or holding directorship in the same company. Therefore, since 'F' is acting as an alternate director for another director i.e. "G", he cannot be appointed again as alternate director for 'E' in the same company.
