In the case of an Executive Chairman, what is the minimum percentage of Independent Directors required on the Board ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Under SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (Regulation 17) and the Companies Act, 2013, if the Chairperson of the Board of Directors is an Executive Chairperson (or a promoter/person related to a promoter), at least half (50%) of the Board of Directors must comprise Independent Directors. If the Chairperson is a non-executive non-promoter director, at least one-third of the Board must be independent.
