    Solution

    Independent Directors (IDs) are the Directors in the Board of a company who are independent and free from any material business, day to-day operations or financial connection with the company. Clause 492 of the listing agreement which is applicable on all listed companies mandates the appointment of ID's on the Board. A need has been felt to update the Act and make it globally compliant and more meaningful in the context of investor protection and customer interest.
