Directors are responsible for governing a company and acting as agents between the company and its shareholders. They can be appointed through articles of association, by shareholders in a general meeting, by other directors or third parties, or by the central government. Directors have fiduciary duties to use reasonable care and act honestly in managing the company's affairs. A director can be disqualified for being personally insolvent, an undischarged bankrupt, or disqualified by a court for dishonest acts. Common reasons for disqualification include failing to file annual reports or repay deposits, dividends, or debentures on time.
