A director of a company shall act in accordance with the Articles of Association (AOA) of the company.

A director of the company shall act in good faith, in order to promote the objects of the company, for the benefits of the company as a whole, and in the best interests of the stakeholders of the company.

A director of a company shall exercise his duties with due and reasonable care, skill and diligence and shall exercise independent judgment.

A director of a company shall not involve in a situation in which he may have a direct or indirect interest that conflicts, or possibly may conflict, with the interest of the company.

A director of a company shall not achieve or attempt to achieve any undue gain or advantage either to himself or to his relatives, partners, or associates and if such director is found guilty of making any undue gain, he shall be liable to pay an amount equal to that gain to the company.

An Independent Director is that member of the board of a company, who does not possess any financial relationship with the company (except the sitting fees), nor can own shares in the company.

the new Indian Companies Act of 2013 is rather efficient, fully accountable, transparent, and maximally beneficial to all stakeholders and related professionals, through this intelligent legislation over duties and responsibilities of directors in Indian companies.

Directors can be jointly and severally liable for the consequences if they act collectively in breach of their responsibilities.

Even in a limited liability company, the director could be held personally liable for losses resulting from some acts or omissions.

• These include illegal acts such as wrongful or fraudulent trading and acts beyond his/her powers or undertaken with insufficient skill and care.

Any grievance against the directors can be referred in the board o directors meeting and the irregularities if any found, may be reported to the registrar of companies.

Then which department in central government do permission is needed

Secondly if any director does sales for the company then is he liable for commission on sales ?

I mean commsion on sale is included in 10 percent of net profit cap or not

The details to handle this situation would have mention in the articles of association and also decided by the board of directors in a meeting

Now if two directors are travelling and selling goods

Can we pay them commission besides salary ?

Commission would be at least 10 crore annually as per company turnover

To pay this commission do we still need permission from corporate affairs or no need ?

We are anyways paying commissions to brokers who are not related to company as it is regularbpractice

This is also a decision taken by the company as per the provisions of the articles of association as well as the decisions taken in accordance with the company's rules and administrative decisions.
