Section 149 of the Companies Act 2013 provides that every company shall have a Board of Directors. It also provides for minimum and maximum number of directors.
Rule 3 of the companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Rules 2014, prescribes the class/classes of the companies to have at least one woman director.
Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has also mandated under SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations (LODR) 2015Â for appointment of at least one woman director on the boards of listed companies.
The requirements provided in SEBI LODR on composition of Board are different from those prescribed under the Companies Act.Â
