    Dear sir,

    Section 185 of Companies Act, 2013 deals with “Loans to Directors”. In the seventh point of the above article you have quoted it as “Loans from Directors” which is wrong. Kindly amend the same.

    My company is a Public Limited Company with a paid up capital of more than 100 crores. I need to appoint a Woman Director and an Independent Director.

    Does the Companies Act or the rules anywhere prohibit me to appoint a Woman as an Independent Director, so that I fulfill both the sections.

    Devils mind works, sometimes….
