Number of Directorships Under Section 165 of The Companies Act, 2013, there are rules regarding the maximum number of directorships a person can hold in various companies. Here’s a breakdown of the key points: 1) Limit on Directorships: According to this section, no individual can serve as a director in more than twenty companies simultaneously. However, there’s a cap of ten public companies for directorship.  2) Special Resolution: The members of a company can vote on a lesser number of directorships through a special resolution. Example: If the members of a company feel that the current director is overloaded with responsibilities, they can pass a special resolution to reduce the number of directorships they hold. (3) Transition Period: Individuals who hold directorships exceeding the limits specified in subsection (1) before the commencement of this Act are given a one-year grace period to adjust. Example: Sarah currently serves as a director in 30 companies, including 12 public companies. She must choose to continue serving in only 20 companies (including a maximum of 10 public companies) within a year and resign from the remaining directorships. (4) Resignation Effectiveness: Resignations from directorships become effective immediately upon submission to the respective companies. Example: After deciding to resign from two of the companies she serves on the board of directors for, Sarah submits her resignation letters to those companies, and they take immediate effect. (5) Enforcement: Violations of these provisions incur penalties, with individuals facing fines for each day they continue to serve in excess of the specified limits. Example: If Sarah continues to serve as a director in more than 20 companies beyond the one-year grace period, she will be fined Rs. 2000 for each day of violation, up to a maximum of Rs. 2 lakhs. These provisions aim to ensure that directors can effectively manage their responsibilities without being spread too thin across multiple companies, thus promoting accountability and efficient corporate governance. Understanding section 165 of the companies act 2013: Number of Directorships Section 165 of The Companies Act, 2013 lays down rules regarding the maximum number of directorships a person can hold simultaneously in various companies. According to this law, as of its enactment, no individual can serve as a director in more than twenty companies at the same time. However, there’s a limit on the number of directorships in public companies, capped at ten. It’s important to note that when calculating directorships in public companies, those in private companies related to public companies (like holding or subsidiary companies) are also counted. There’s a provision for companies to specify a lower limit on the number of directorships through a special resolution by its members. For those who already held directorships exceeding the prescribed limits before this law came into effect, they have a year to adjust. Within this period, they must choose to continue serving in a limited number of companies and resign from the excess ones, notifying each concerned company and the Registrar accordingly. Once a resignation is tendered, it takes immediate effect. Violation of these regulations incurs penalties. Initially set at a maximum of twenty-five thousand rupees per day under earlier amendments, it has been revised to a maximum penalty of five thousand rupees per day effective from February 9, 2018. The penalty accumulates for each day the violation persists, up to a maximum of two lakh rupees. An exception to these rules is provided for section 8 companies, exempting them from the provisions of Section 165 of The Companies Act, 2013. Examples: Let’s say Ram is currently serving as a director in 25 companies, out of which 15 are public companies and 10 are private. According to Section 165 of The Companies Act, 2013, he needs to choose which 10 public companies and which 10 private companies he wants to continue serving in and resign from the excess ones within a year. If Sanah accepts an appointment as a director in 22 companies, she would be in violation of Section 165, subject to a penalty of two thousand rupees for each day she continues to hold these excess directorships.
