    Solution

    The CEO and board chairperson should be separate to prevent too much executive power. It has been mandated by SEBI on the recommendation of the Uday Kotak committee to separate the two posts. Currently this has been mandated for top 500 listed companies with effect from April 01, 2020.   The proportion of independent Board members is recommended to be increased to 50% of the Board strength as against 33% earlier.
