The concept of Independent Director has been proposed in the Companies Bill, 2009. Clause 147 of the Bill, provides for duties of directors which include the duty to act in good faith in best interest of company, to act with due and reasonable care, skill and diligence, to avoid any conflict of interest, to desist from achieving any undue gain or advantage. These duties would also be applicable for independent directors.
Independent directors will not be hauled up for the acts undertaken by companies without their consent or knowledge, as per the new norms announced by the government. “We have directed the Registrar of Companies (RoC) not to take any penal action against those independent directors who are not actively involved in the decision making process of the company,” Corporate Affairs Secretary D K Mittal told PTI.

The role of independent directors (IDs) on the board of Indian companies will be clarified in the new Companies Bill and their responsibilities will be made finite in terms of what they are answerable for, said Union Corporate Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid.
A parliamentary panel of experts studying the new Companies Bill is likely to come up with suggestions in this regard, said a corporate affairs ministry official, requesting anonymity. The development assumes significance in the wake of the government’s renewed efforts to quicken the share sales of many state-owned firms that are hamstrung by the lack of a requisite number of independent directors on boards. Market regulator Sebi’s guidelines require that 50% of a company board should be stuffed with independent directors.
