Below I am listing some statutory duties of a director.

  • Director has to see that no misleading statement is given in the prospectus.
  • Every director should pay the application and allotment money before the commencement of business.
  • It must convene extraordinary general meeting  as and when required.
  • It has to approve the annual accounts.
  • It has to recommend dividends.
  • Every director must obtain the qualification shares, if so required.
  • Every director who is interested in any contract must disclose his interest to other directors.
