Directors are responsible for managing a company's affairs as the company is an artificial entity that can only act through human agents. A company must have a board of directors. Directors can be appointed by shareholders, other directors, or the central government. They must meet qualification requirements and can be removed by shareholders, government or tribunal in certain circumstances. Directors have general powers listed in the articles as well as specific powers that must be exercised during board meetings, such as making share calls, issuing debentures, and investing company funds. Management of a company is crucial and requires directors to oversee its operations.
