Under the COMPANIES ACT, 2013 :

According to The companies Act 2013, every company must appoint at least 1 woman director of its list of board of directors.
As we know that every company must have a minimum number of directors on board i.e. THREE directors for a public company, TWO directors in case of a private company and ONE director in case of a One person company and also must have a MAXIMUM of 15 directors (or more than 15 directors on passing a SPECIAL RESOLUTION).
So, the above classes of companies must have 1 woman director on its board.

in one person company also a woman director is necessary??
ReplyDeleteyes. in a OPC appointment of at least 1 woman director is necessary .
Deletelet me explain you this way,
In a OPC i.e. One person company it is necessary that we must have one shareholder only then it will be held as a OPC. but the concept also explains that the Law relating to appointment of directors on board will remain same.
which means there can be minimum 1 director(for OPC) and a maximum of 15 directors for a one person company.
i hope this might have cleared your doubt.
in case you need further explanation, kindly drop me a mail at arshibabbar@gmail.com.
