I want to offer my Managing Director with an appointment letter with the terms and conditions for his tenure with the company. Any idea on what terms should be included in the offer letter?

Depends on the type of director Broadly - will be different for a paid MD even if with stakes (less than 5%) and an MD with stake in the Co more than 5%.

just_neo_chetan : a professional agreement is a must not just a letter!!! which must have a non-compete agreement in the future too - it the MD is not the owner founder / co founder. basheed

Agreed with Basheed... You will need a regular contract and not just an appointment letter. The letter is fine in its place, but this is a position with significant legal ramifications and that is normally a subject of a legal contract.

2. Is he an Executive directly involving certain areas of operations like, production, HR, Finance, Spl.divisions etc. Then fix areas of his responsibilities, assigned duties, day to day responsibilities.
3. List out delegation of powers & responsibilities.
4. Refer your Recrutment & promotion policies/rules and short list what are applicable to him, take his scale of pay, allow. perks, benefits etc.
5. Also pick up relevant points from the appointment letters of other directors which are common to all.

7. List out other general terms like, conduct and discipline rules, termination terms etc,
