With regards to social norms, we can say that father of the children or bread winner of family is Director of the family. As per section 2(34) of the Companies Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as Act) Director means a director appointed to the Board of a company. Director appointed to the Board is an officer of the Company. Definition of ‘officer’ is given in Section 2(59) of the Act. That means director appointed to the Board is not an employee of the company, except he is in service or employment of the Company.
